Excited to share a recent case where Dr Alasady successfully upgraded a single-chamber AVEIR VVI pacemaker to a dual-chamber DDDR system by adding an AAI device.

The AVEIR DR leadless system is a remarkable innovation, offering a flexible, phased approach to pacing therapy. Being able to add a second device later to initiate AV synchrony without replacing the original system, opens up new possibilities for personalised care.

Incredible to see how this technology is reshaping the future of pacing.

A big thank you to Canberra Daily and National Capital Private Hospital for the feature!

We’re proud to be part of a hospital leading the way in innovative cardiac care – from advanced diagnostics and electrophysiology to minimally invasive procedures that are changing outcomes for patients across the region.

As Dr Muayad Alasady shared:
“Early detection and proactive management of cardiovascular risk factors are paramount.”

At Rhythm and Cardiac Specialists, we’re committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-first care – backed by the latest technology and a passionate team of professionals.

National Capital Private Hospital is co-located with Canberra Hospital, with many of the specialists working across both hospitals.

Last week was a week of firsts, as Dr. Alasady also became the first in Australia & New Zealand to use Abbott’s HD Grid X mapping catheter at the National Capital Private Hospital during a right atrial atypical flutter procedure.

The catheter seamlessly captured precise right atrial geometry and over 15,000 mapping points in just 7 minutes, enabling quicker analysis and targeted ablation.

These advancements significantly reduce procedure time and enhance patient outcomes, reinforcing our commitment to delivering cutting-edge care.

Last week, Dr Alasady successfully performed an Australian first jugular approach with Aveir VR at the National Capital Private Hospital in Canberra.

Traditionally, crossing the valve from groin access can be complex, but using the internal jugular vein approach, the procedure went smoothly, leading to a fantastic outcome for the patient.

On Monday, it was an incredible milestone for cardiac care! Dr Muayad Alasady successfully implanted the AVIER DR Dual Chamber Leadless Pacemaker, the first device of its kind in the world and the first to be implanted in the Southern Hemisphere.

Dr. Muayad Alasady, one of the few physicians in Australia trained to perform this procedure, completed two beautiful cases right here in at the National Capital Private Hospital.

This innovative technology eliminates leads, reduces complications, improves patient comfort with no generators, and allows for faster recovery - transforming the way we care for patients.

We’re proud to bring cutting-edge advancements like this to our region and can’t wait to see the positive impact this will have on our patients' lives.
