Dr Ganesan is a graduate of the University of Sydney and holds a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr Ganesan settled in Adelaide in 2011 to complete his postdoctoral fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology at the University of Adelaide and Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Associate Professor Anand Ganesan was appointed as a clinical academic cardiologist at Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre in 2016. He is a Matthew Flinders Fellow and Future Leader Fellow of the National Heart Foundation of Australia.

Professor William Heddle
RFD MD FRACP FCSANZ FAMA FHRS CCDS GAICD
Professor Heddle consults regularly at our Ashford, Morphett Vale and Flinders locations as well as Berri and Mount Gambier, and Victor Harbor. He also visits Mount Barker to provide cardiac device checks for his patients living in the Adelaide Hills region.
Professor  William Heddle  is a highly trained and experienced cardiologist and electrophysiologist and has been a pioneer in the development of arrhythmia management. Professor Heddle has been with SA Heart since its inception in 1984.

Prof. Heddle graduated from the University of Adelaide in 1972 where he was awarded the John Campbell Prize for first place in Biochemistry. He then went on to postgraduate studies in Obstetrics and Anaesthesia followed by Physician Training in 1974 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Prof. Heddle commenced his cardiology training at the Flinders Medical Centre in 1977 and he was the first trainee in cardiac electrophysiology in SA. Since then his training has been directed towards furthering his expertise in management of arrhythmias.

This has included research performed both in Australia and The Netherlands into the diagnosis, mechanisms and management of arrhythmias. Prof. Heddle was awarded his Fellowship to the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) in 1980, his Doctorate in Medicine in 1985, and Fellowship of the Cardiac Society of Australian and New Zealand (FCSANZ) in 2004. He was granted Fellowship to the Australian Medical Association in 2006.

Prof. Heddle is Senior Consultant Cardiologist at Southern Adelaide Local Health Network, Associate Dean and Head Flinders Southern Adelaide Clinical School, School of Medicine, Flinders University. 

Earlier in 2012 Prof. Heddle was awarded Fellowship in the Heart Rhythm Society (FRHS). At that time Prof. Heddle was the ninth Australian and first South Australian to be awarded the  FRHS.

Prof.  Heddle's honorary appointments are many and varied and include:

1994 - 1999 Clinical Advisor in Cardiology Ashford Community Hospital
1999 - present Chairman, AMA (SA) Road Safety Committee
2002 - 2003 Vice President AMA (SA)

2010 - present Member of Prosthesis List Advisory Committee (PLAC) Federal Department of Health and Ageing

Dr Cameron Singleton
MBBS FRACP MD FCSANZ
Consultant Cardiologist/Electrophysiologist
Dr Cameron Singleton’s expertise is in the full range of cardiac electrophysiology procedures including catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia. He also has an interest in diagnostic electrophysiology studies, as well as cardiac rhythm device implantation including cardiac resynchronisation (bi-ventricular) devices, ICDs, permanent pacemakers and implantable loop recorders.
 
Dr Singleton graduated with MBBS from the University of Adelaide in 1991. He did his training at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and St Vincent‟s Hospital, Sydney. Dr Singleton obtained Doctor of Medicine at the University of New South Wales studying cardiac ion channels which are fundamental to all cardiac arrhythmias, but of particular relevance to genetic abnormalities which predispose to cardiac arrhythmias such as the Brugada syndrome and the Long QT syndromes. Dr Singleton was a fellow in Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, before returning to Adelaide in 2000 to take up the position of Cardiologist (Electrophysiology) at Flinders Medical Centre, SA.

Dr Fahd Chahadi
MD, FRACP
Cardiologist, Electrophysiologist
Dr Fahd Chahadi is a Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist. He completed his cardiology training at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne followed by a three-year fellowship in cardiac electrophysiology at Flinders Medical Centre. Apart from general cardiology, his areas of expertise is in the assessment and management of cardiac arrhythmias and syncope as well as implantation of all types of pacemakers used in the management of bradycardia, tachycardia, and heart failure.

He also has expertise in performing simple and complex electrophysiological studies and radiofrequency ablation for the management of cardiac arrhythmias. He is one of 326 electrophysiologists worldwide who is certified to perform catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using the HANSEN robotic system which he performs at Flinders Private Hospital.

Dr Chahadi is a staff specialist at Flinders Medical Centre. He is well-published and is actively involved in national and international research and clinical trials.
