Dr Hendrik Zimmet
Epworth HealthCare cardiologist Dr Hendrik Zimmet fits a life-saving new vest to forty-two year old Shane Anwyl in an Australian first.
Mr Anwyl had suffered a serious heart problem and the vest is fitted with a defibrillator that activates immediately upon sensing a problem.
The vest is worn for three months following a heart event (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation), the most dangerous period for recovering heart patients.
