Dr Emily Kotschet is a cardiologist and electrophysiologist with a particular interest in inherited cardiac arrhythmias, including cardiac genetics and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Emily completed her cardiology training at the Alfred and Monash Heart, then completed a three-year fellowship in Electrophysiology with two years in Canada. She returned to Monash Heart, and established the AF ablation program, including Australia’s first nurse-led AF clinic, as well as the cardiac genetics service. She has introduced many new pacemakers and defibrillating devices to Australia, including the Micra leadless pacemaker, and subcutaneous ICDs.

Emily’s interests include atrial fibrillation management including catheter ablation, device implantation for heart failure (pacemakers, defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation devices and subcutaneous devices) and inherited arrhythmias such as Long QT syndrome. She has an interest in paediatric electrophysiology, managing children with arrhythmias, and performs ablation in older children. She is happy to consult families and children regarding these conditions.

Emily loves family time with her husband and three gorgeous girls, and enjoys running marathons to keep fit.
