Atrial Fibrillation Institute

The Queensland Cardiovascular Group (QCG) has led in the development of new and innovative services over the last 30 years. The Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) services have been established and led by Dr. Wayne Stafford and Dr. John Hayes, who have built a world-leading reputation. In 1992, they established the first private EP Service in Queensland in collaboration with the St. Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, and now the Atrial Fibrillation Institute.

As a specialty driven by highly advanced technologies, cardiac electrophysiology has only significantly emerged in the last couple of decades and it continues to grow. Increasingly sophisticated computer software, electrical cardiac mapping and ablation technologies have significantly changed the way that Atrial Fibrillation is managed. As the largest volume private EP service in Australia, our Institute’s collaboration with the medical technology industry provides our patients with advanced access to the latest cutting edge technologies.
