Cardiovascular nurse researcher caring for our hearts this Heart Week
For individuals living with atrial fibrillation or ‘AF’, the irregular beating of their hearts can cause great discomfort: fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, racing heartbeats. AF is the most common heart rhythm disorder and happens when the upper valves beat out of order from the lower valves, causing a range of frightening and uncomfortable symptoms.
Dr Caleb Ferguson is an atrial fibrillation nurse researcher affiliated with the new Westmead Innovation Quarter and a Senior Research Fellow, NHMRC Emerging Leader Fellow, and Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow from the Western Sydney Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre (Western Sydney University School of Nursing and Midwifery and Western Sydney Local Health District) and the Translational Health Research Institute (THRI), and MARCS Institute for Brain Behaviour and Development.
