Westmead, NSW – June 5, 2026 – Heartcare Sydney reveals that they operate Sydney’s first GE Vivid Pioneer, the latest generation of GE’s cardiac ultrasound platform. This marks a significant step forward in specialist cardiac imaging for patients across Western Sydney.
Led by Dr Reza Moazzeni, MD, FRACP, Heartcare Sydney provides cardiologist-led care with a focus on accurate diagnosis, preventive cardiology and advanced cardiac imaging. As a trusted Westmead cardiologist, Dr Moazzeni brings specialist expertise to patients requiring assessment for symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, palpitations, heart murmurs, valve disease, heart failure and cardiovascular risk factors.
The GE Vivid Pioneer is designed to deliver exceptional image quality with AI-enhanced automation, supporting faster and more accurate cardiac assessments. The system provides higher-resolution imaging of heart valves, chambers and blood flow, which can be particularly beneficial for technically challenging patients. Heartcare Sydney states that its echocardiography and stress echocardiography services are performed using Sydney’s first GE Vivid Pioneer system.
“Cardiac ultrasound is one of the most important tools we have for understanding how a patient’s heart is functioning in real time. With the GE Vivid Pioneer, we can obtain highly detailed views of the heart’s structure, pumping function, valve movement and blood flow. The AI-enhanced automation helps improve workflow and measurement consistency, which supports timely reporting and better-informed treatment decisions,” said Dr Reza Moazzeni, MD, FRACP.
The need for timely cardiac assessment remains significant. According to the Heart Foundation’s 2025 cardiovascular disease statistics, cardiovascular disease accounts for one in four deaths in Australia, claiming one life approximately every 12 minutes. The Heart Foundation also reported in September 2025 that 2.5 million Australians have a high chance of heart attack or stroke within the next five years, many without knowing their risk.
Patients attending the heart clinic in Westmead have access to a range of cardiology services, including consultation, cardiac risk assessment and advanced diagnostic testing. For patients referred for an echocardiogram or echo cardio exam, the clinic provides ultrasound-based imaging that does not use radiation and is commonly used to assess heart size, pumping strength, valve function and blood flow.
Heartcare Sydney’s cardiac imaging service includes:
• Cardiologist-reported resting cardiac ultrasound
• AI-enhanced imaging using Sydney’s first GE Vivid Pioneer
• Automated strain analysis, including global longitudinal strain
• Enhanced Doppler for detailed blood-flow assessment
• Stress echocardiography for selected patients requiring exercise-based assessment
• Bulk billed echocardiogram, with referral required
For patients searching “stress echocardiogram near me” online, the clinic offers an echo exam heart assessment, which shows how the heart performs under physical stress, helping clinicians investigate symptoms that may not appear during a resting study.
“Our focus is not only on acquiring clearer images, but on translating those images into meaningful clinical answers,” Dr Moazzeni said. “For a patient, an echocardiogram test can help explain symptoms, monitor known heart disease or guide future management. For referring doctors, detailed imaging and specialist interpretation can provide confidence when deciding the next step in care.”
The advanced echocardiogram ultrasound technology also supports diagnosis across a wide range of cardiac conditions, including valve disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, pulmonary pressure changes and structural abnormalities.
One of their patients, Megani N, said: “Dr Moazzeni is a really good cardiologist. I felt assured of his technical abilities as a cardiologist. He is thorough and respectful of one’s pocket. His nurse is respectful and equally confident of her contribution in this practice.”
