Dr Ajita Kanthan

Dr Ajita Kanthan is a pioneering cardiologist based in Rouse Hill, Sydney, Australia. He is affiliated with Norwest Private Hospital and has been practicing medicine since 2000. Dr Kanthan has dedicated his career to advancing cardiology through radiation-free procedural techniques.

As a specialist in cardiology, Dr Kanthan's special interests lie in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, palpitations, blackouts, cardiac ablations, and pacemaker/defibrillator implants. Notably, he has achieved numerous firsts in Australia, including performing the country's first radiation-free trans-venous pacemaker implant, a technique that he regularly employs. Dr Kanthan is currently the sole practitioner in Australia performing this procedure, highlighting his expertise in radiation-free techniques, which avoid the overexposure to X-rays associated with traditional trans-venous device implant methods. This pioneering approach is particularly important given that traditional methods can administer up to 500 chest x-ray equivalent doses of radiation.

With an extensive list of achievements, Dr Kanthan can also be credited with performing the first radiation-free cardiac ablations of both supra-ventricular and ventricular rhythm disorders in Sydney. His expertise in innovative and safe methods has not only garnered him a highly regarded reputation but has also made him a sought-after trainer, both nationally and internationally, in device implantation and radiation-free procedural techniques.

Dr Ajita Kanthan is truly a leading figure in cardiology, constantly pushing boundaries and advocating for the advancement of his field. His dedication to improving patient care by employing radiation-free procedural techniques has set him apart as a pioneering force in the industry.
