Through collaborative partnerships, St. Andrew's Electrophysiology Service leads with radiation reduction having the only installed St Jude Medical MediGuide system in the southern hemisphere and the only Boston Scientific Rhythmia high resolution 3D mapping system in Queensland. The service continues to grow, performed over 1000 procedures annually. The unit is involved in an annual audit process which continues to monitor and confirm a quality service with outcomes among the best in the world, along with safe practice and low complication rates. The Unit continues to be involved in innovative clinical research, publications, teaching, sub specialty training in cardiac electrophysiology and the highest quality outcomes for their patients.
