Dr Allahwala has a keen interest in coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, heart failure management and arrhythmias.
In addition to Dr Allahwala’s clinical expertise, he has a strong background in research having published more than 30 peer reviewed journal articles and book chapters. he is also currently completing his doctoral studies from the University of Sydney in chronic total occlusion (CTOs) and complex coronary artery disease.
