Doctor Christian Verdicchio

Macquarie Health, Leichhardt (Australia)

Dr Christian Verdicchio is a clinician-researcher with extensive experience in exercise physiology, cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and sports cardiology. His research has focussed on assessing the benefits of exercise interventions and cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with complex cardiovascular disease and arrhythmias, and the physiological mechanisms promoting cardiac arrhythmias in endurance athletes. Dr Verdicchio completed his PhD in Medicine under the supervision of Prof Prash Sanders and was awarded Dean's Commendation for Doctoral Thesis Excellence for his PhD titled 'Exercise in Atrial Fibrillation'. Dr Verdicchio is currently the Manager of Cardiac Rehabilitation for Macquarie Health hospitals in Australia, leading the team in producing world class outcomes for patients, whilst maintaining his research activities at the University of Adelaide and University of Sydney.
