Dr. Jenny Rajala

CLINICAL INTERESTS

I am a general cardiologist and see a wide range of cardiac issues. I have worked in Victoria since 2013. I have a particular interest in cardiovascular risk factor prevention, and cardio-oncology. I enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary setting to provide comprehensive cardiac assessments and get patients to target for risk factor management. For my cardio-oncology patients, my goal is to manage cardiovascular issues as soon as possible so they can continue on with their oncology treatments. 

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I have an interest in improving systems and patient referral pathways, and have worked on several projects to do so.
