Dr Celine Gallagher, RN, PhD

Heart disease: a clinical overview for dietitians

16 Sep, 2022

An overview of heart disease; physiology, risk factors and who is at risk

Learning outcomes: 

  • Become aware of the current morbidity and mortality associated with heart disease in Australia and New Zealand  
  • Understand the mechanisms of heart disease (pump, plumbing and electrical)
  • Explain the latest theory around aetiology of heart disease
  • Explain how the cardiovascular risk calculator is used
  • Identify groups at higher risk for cardiovascular disease and the factors which increase their risk

This presentation is targeted to assist dietitians in keeping our broad clinical knowledge of heart disease up to date, and focus on prevention through supporting behaviour change around modifiable risk factors.

About the Presenter

Dr Celine Gallagher is an academic nurse with a special interest in dysautonomia and cardiovascular disease. She has held several specialist clinical cardiology roles in the United Kingdom and Australia including management of a rapid access chest pain clinic, a nurse led angina clinic, a nurse led PCI clinic and as a cardiac rehabilitation consultant. Since entering a research career, she has focussed on improving outcomes in arrhythmia, with a special focus on atrial fibrillation (AF) and autonomic dysfunction. She completed her PhD in 2019, which explored the role of alternative models of care delivery and cardiovascular risk factor management to improve outcomes in AF. Her postdoctoral work focused on translational clinical research, implementing and evaluating interventions to improve outcomes and reduce health care burden in the AF population. Recently she has increasingly focused on opportunities and interventions to improve outcomes in dysautonomia and specifically Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
