About Rotar Cardiac Clinic

At the end of 2020, while the whole world was faced with challenging times of COVID-19 pandemic, the company “Rotar Heart Health Pty Ltd” was created. It was the power of three people, each needing to contribute to the fight against the disease, their family connection and a common idea which brought all together to start a new venture for the provision of essential cardiac services.
On 9th day of December 2020 Oleg Mogilnitskiy and Victoria Ceban have joined their skills and experience in worlds of cardiology, clinical services, health management and business to create Rotar Heart Health – a state of the art cardiac diagnostic clinic in Melbourne Brighton (VIC). Our clinic uses top of the range, latest medical diagnostic equipment, engineered by General Electric (GE), who continue to support us in providing the latest technological updates as they arise throughout the years. Our practice management and clinical reporting software – HealthTrack – is a leader in the field of cardiology, allowing us to instantly receive diagnostic data from the moment a patient is examined on a machine, report it at any location and share in a secure way with other clinicians, wherever they may be.
