Biography
Dr Tony Walton is Deputy Director and Head of Catheter Laboratory in the Department of Cardiology. He is a clinician, interventional cardiologist who specialises in structural heart procedures.
Tony is an interventional cardiologist based at The Alfred and is an Associate Professor in Medicine at Monash University. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at The Baker Institute as well as Head of the Structural Heart Programme at the The Alfred and Director of the Cardiac Interventional Laboratories at Western Health.
His training in cardiology was at The Alfred and further postgraduate training in interventional cardiology was undertaken at Stanford University Medical Centre in the United States.
His professional interests include general and interventional cardiology with particular interests in structural heart disease and hypertension. The developing areas of percutaneous valve replacement and interventional techniques for the treatment of common conditions such as hypertension are particular interests. He has published his clinical and research work in peer reviewed manuscripts on subjects including the novel techniques of percutaneous aortic valve replacement and renal denervation for refractory hypertension
