Dr Lim Toon Wei

Dr Lim Toon Wei graduated from the University of Sydney in 1997 with 1st Class Honours. He completed his physician’s training in cardiology at Westmead Hospital and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2006. Following this, he was a Cardiology Research Fellow till 2009 at Westmead Hospital, working in the area of catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias, particularly that of atrial fibrillation.

In 2009 he joined the University of Ottawa Heart Institute as a Clinical Fellow in Cardiac Electrophysiology before returning to his hometown in 2010 to join the National University Heart Centre as a consultant.
