Professor Imran Shiekh holds an MBBS degree and serves as a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiology at Royal Perth Hospital, Perth, Australia. He maintains an academic association with Curtin University via Curtin Medical School, as indicated in collaborative research affiliations within published cardiology studies.
Shiekh has actively contributed to advancing knowledge on spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), participating as a co-author in registry-based research from the Australian-New Zealand SCAD consortium. Notable publications include 'The Australian-New Zealand spontaneous coronary artery dissection registry: predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events and recurrence' published in the European Heart Journal in 2025, which analyzes factors predicting adverse outcomes and recurrences in SCAD patients. In 2026, he co-authored 'Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Sex Differences in Clinical Presentation and Outcomes From the Australian New Zealand Registry' in the Journal of the American Heart Association, detailing differences in presentation, management, and outcomes between sexes. Another 2026 contribution is 'Health-Related Quality-of-Life and its Determinants After Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection,' exploring post-infarction quality-of-life determinants specific to SCAD cases. These peer-reviewed works reflect his involvement in high-impact cardiology research focused on SCAD epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and patient outcomes.
