Biography
Dr Sverdlov received his medical degree (MBBS) from the University of Adelaide, Australia in 2000. Then he completed his post-graduate training in general medicine and cardiology, including serving as a Chief Medical Resident for 2 years. He was admitted to the Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) in December 2007, and then appointed staff specialist in cardiology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Lyell McEwin Hospital from February 2008.
Aaron Sverdlov was awarded his PhD in 2012 from the University of Adelaide under supervision of Prof John Horowitz. His doctoral work was on pathogenesis of aortic valve disease: Aaron led the aortic valve stenosis group at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and provided the first evidence in humans that progression of aortic stenosis is amenable to treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors. He was then awarded an NHMRC CJ Martin Fellowship, and later AHA Postdoctoral Fellowship to undertake postdoctoral work with Prof WS Colucci at Boston University (2012-15). There he studied mechanisms regulating cardiac function and energetics in models of obesity-induced heart disease. He proved that mitochondrial ROS play a key pathogenic role in metabolic heart disease and identified novel reactive cysteines in mitochondrial complex II that modulate its function and lead to cardiac energetic impairment. He was also involved in describing a new method for quantitation of FDG PET/CT in cardiac sarcoidosis: this work has been heavily cited and this method has been adopted by a number of institutions. Aaron's postdoctoral work gained him a reputation as an expert and leader in mitochondrial redox field.
Upon return to Australia in 2015, in partnership with his wife, A/Prof Doan Ngo, he established and co-led Cardiometabolic research group as part of the Cardiovascular Program led by Prof John Horowitz at the Basil Hetzel Institute.
Aaron relocated to Newcastle in 2017 where he was appointed Associate Professor and Director of Heart Failure at the University of Newcastle. He has a Clinical Academic appointment as a cardiologist at the John Hunter Hospital and is a Clinical Lead of Heart Failure Services for Hunter New England Local Health District.
Aaron has been awarded 4-year Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship for his research program "Bench-to-bedside approach to improving management and outcomes for patients with heart failure" commencing in January 2018.
Together with A/Prof Doan Ngo, Aaron has established the first-in-Australia bench-to-bedside "Cancer and the Heart" cardio-oncology program combining basic and clinical research into cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity with Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital-based clinical outpatient service. This program is a collaboration between Cancer Network, Cardiology, Oncology, Haematology and Radiation oncology departments and is supported by the grants from the Heart Foundation of Australia and NSW Ministry of Health.
In November 2018, Aaron was a recipient of a Ministerial Award for Rising Stars in Cardiovascular Research.
Research Expertise
Aaron Sverdlov's research encompasses a full spectrum of translation from bench to bedside and service delivery. He has a basic and translational lab at the Hunter Medical Research Institute and shares a research lab with A/Prof Doan Ngo on the Callaghan Campus. His clinical research is at the John Hunter Hospital, Calvary Mater Newcastle and other sites across the Health District.
Broad goals of Aaron's research program are to improve care and health outcomes for patients with heart disease through better understanding of mechanisms responsible for development of heart failure, prevention and early detection of heart disease through development of novel biomarkers and improved delivery of healthcare by dedicated and integrated multidisciplinary approach.
Aaron's specific research interests directions are:
- mechanisms underlying development of heart failure, especially heart failure due to obesity and diabetes
- role of mitochondria and redox stress in heart failure
- mechanisms of development of cancer therapy-mediated cardiotoxicity
- role of novel biomarkers in early detection of various forms of heart disease
- basic and clinical factors reponsible for development and progression of aortic valve disease
- development and evaluation of integrated multidisciplinary heart failure service incorporating research and innovation
- development and evaluation of cardio-oncology clinical and translational program
- evaluation of new treatment options for patients with obesity, heart failure and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity
Across these projects Aaron has a number of local, national and international collaborators.

Perhexiline, 2-(2,2-dicyclohexylethyl)piperidine, was originally developed as a prophylactic anti-anginal drug in the late 1960s. It was initially a popular and effective treatment for angina, having the almost unique property compared to other agents available at that time, of not inducing reductions in blood pressure or heart rate. Despite the initial success, its use diminished markedly due to the occurrence during long-term therapy of poorly understood side effects (neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity), which later were shown to be associated with high plasma concentrations of perhexiline, occurring in patients with relatively slow hepatic metabolism of the drug. However, therapeutic plasma monitoring and associated dose adjustments have led to perhexiline¿s reintroduction into clinical practice. This new book discusses the benefits of perhexiline in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Obesity, particularly visceral adiposity, has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress, which have been suggested as mechanisms of insulin resistance. The mechanism(s) behind this remains incompletely understood. In this study, we hypothesized that mitochondrial complex II dysfunction plays a role in impaired insulin sensitivity in visceral adipose tissue of subjects with obesity. We obtained subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue biopsies from 43 subjects with obesity (body mass index = 30 kg/m 2 ) during planned bariatric surgery. Compared with subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral adipose tissue exhibited decreased complex II activity, which was restored with the reducing agent dithiothreitol (5 mM) (P < 0.01). A biotin switch assay identified that cysteine oxidative posttranslational modifications (OPTM) in complex II subunit A (succinate dehydrogenase A) were increased in visceral vs. subcutaneous fat (P < 0.05). Insulin treatment (100 nM) stimulated complex II activity in subcutaneous fat (P < 0.05). In contrast, insulin treatment of visceral fat led to a decrease in complex II activity (P < 0.01), which was restored with addition of the mitochondria-specific oxidant scavenger mito-TEMPO (10 µ M). In a cohort of 10 subjects with severe obesity, surgical weight loss decreased OPTM and restored complex II activity, exclusively in the visceral depot. Mitochondrial complex II may be an unrecognized and novel mediator of insulin resistance associated with visceral adiposity. The activity of complex II is improved by weight loss, which may contribute to metabolic improvements associated with bariatric surgery.

Aims: Metabolic syndrome is associated with metabolic heart disease (MHD) that is characterized by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, contractile dysfunction, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Overexpression of catalase in mitochondria (transgenic expression of catalase targeted to the mitochondria [mCAT]) prevents the structural and functional features of MHD caused by a high-fat, high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for =4 months. However, it is unclear whether the effect of mCAT is due to prevention of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cardiac remodeling, a direct effect on mitochondrial function, or both. To address this question, we measured myocardial function and energetics in mice, with or without mCAT, after 1 month of HFHS, before the development of cardiac structural remodeling. Results: HFHS diet for 1 month had no effect on body weight, heart weight, LV structure, myocyte size, or interstitial fibrosis. Isolated cardiac mitochondria from HFHS-fed mice produced 2.2- to 3.8-fold more H2O2, and 16%-29% less adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In isolated beating hearts from HFHS-fed mice, [phosphocreatine (PCr)] and the free energy available for ATP hydrolysis (¿G~ATP) were decreased, and they failed to increase with work demands. Overexpression of mCAT normalized ROS and ATP production in isolated mitochondria, and it corrected myocardial [PCr] and ¿G~ATP in the beating heart. Innovation: This is the first demonstration that in MHD, mitochondrial ROS mediate energetic dysfunction that is sufficient to impair contractile function. Conclusion: ROS produced and acting in the mitochondria impair myocardial energetics, leading to slowed relaxation and decreased contractile reserve. These effects precede structural remodeling and are corrected by mCAT, indicating that ROS-mediated energetic impairment, per se, is sufficient to cause contractile dysfunction in MHD.

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This arrhythmia occurs more frequently among patients who receive perioperative inotropic therapy (PINOT). Administration of nitrates with antiplatelet agents reduces the conversion rate of cyclic guanosine monophosphate to guanosine monophosphate. This process is associated with increased concentrations of free radicals, catecholamines, and blood plasma volume. We hypothesized that patients undergoing CABG surgery who receive PINOT may be more susceptible to POAF when nitrates are administered with antiplatelet agents. Methods: Clinical records were examined from a prospectively maintained cohort of 4,124 patients undergoing primary isolated CABG surgery to identify POAF-associated factors. Results: POAF risk was increased among patients receiving PINOT, and the greatest effect was observed when nitrates were administered with antiplatelet therapy. Adjustment for comorbidities did not substantively change the study results. Conclusions: Administration of nitrates with certain antiplatelet agents was associated with an increased POAF risk among patients undergoing CABG surgery. Additional studies are needed to determine whether preventive strategies such as administration of antioxidants will reduce this risk.
