CVC Cardiovascular Clinics was founded in 2015 by Managing Director Dr Alexander Incani, who envisioned a private cardiology group that would bring together like-minded specialists dedicated to delivering exceptional cardiovascular care. What began as a single clinic at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital in Spring Hill has grown into a trusted network of seven practices across South East Queensland.
Today, our team includes thirteen expert cardiologists and seven highly trained cardiac scientists, supported by thirty administrative staff and a strong management team. Our growth reflects our commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and compassionate care.
At CVC, our greatest achievements are reflected in the lives we have helped improve. Here are just a few of the many stories that inspire us:
These stories are just a glimpse into the impact we strive to make every day—helping patients live healthier, longer and fuller lives through expert cardiovascular care.
Dr Alexander Incani and Dr Karl Poon, highly respected interventional cardiologists, lead the Structural Heart Program at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital, delivering world-class, multidisciplinary care for patients with complex heart valve conditions. Since its establishment in 2018, the program has become one of the most advanced in Australasia. It has recently been recognised as a TAVI teaching centre of excellence by Edwards LifeSciences – only one of two sites in the southern hemisphere.
Together, Dr Incani and Dr Poon pioneered Queensland’s first private-sector Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) program. Since its inception, the program has achieved outstanding outcomes.
The Structural Heart Program focuses on minimally invasive procedures using innovative technologies to treat conditions such as:
Each patient is assessed and treated by a collaborative Heart Team that includes interventional and general cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, anaesthetists, intensivists, and geriatricians. This team-based approach ensures personalised, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s needs.
St Andrew’s is a nationally accredited centre for both MitraClip and TAVI procedures, offering patients access to the latest innovations in structural heart care in a private hospital setting.
Our cardiology team includes thirteen experienced cardiologists and numerous skilled cardiac scientists, supported by professional administrative staff and an experienced management team. This collaborative structure ensures a smooth and coordinated experience for every patient—from initial consultation through to treatment and recovery. With our depth of expertise and resources, all of our patients can access care without delay.
We are committed to delivering exceptional cardiovascular care, combining personalised treatment with the latest advancements in medical technology. Our focus is on achieving the best possible outcomes for every patient, both now and into the future.
St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital has been named an International Centre of Excellence by the American College of Cardiology (ACC), following independent accreditation of the hospital’s cardiac catheterisation program. This prestigious recognition highlights our demonstrated ability to deliver the highest standards of care in diagnostic catheterisation and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures.
Thanks to the close collaboration and shared commitment between cardiologists from CVC Cardiovascular Clinics and St Andrew’s, this achievement reflects the strength of our integrated approach to cardiac care—placing us among the world’s leading heart centres.
