The 6th annual National Cardiac Physiologists’ Day Trivia Night was held on 21st May 2025, once again bringing together Cardiac Physiologists from across Australia for a night of celebration, connection, and competitive spirit. The event continues to grow in popularity, offering a lively and engaging way to recognise the contributions of our profession.

This year’s event was hosted by PiCSA Board Members Leah Wollin and Jenny Fong, who kept the evening entertaining and interactive, with a perfect mix of fun and brainpower. We are grateful to the Victorian Heart Hospital for generously hosting the event again in 2025.

With 13 teams entering the competition and over 120 participants, there was a fantastic blend of returning players and new faces. The reigning champions from 2024, “Hips and Hearts” from Queensland Children’s Hospital, were back online and ready to defend their title with confidence and determination. Their return added an extra layer of excitement to the night, with teams eager for a shot at dethroning the champions and claiming bragging rights for 2025.

The “North Shore Pulse Patrol” from Royal North Shore Hospital once again came out strong in the opening rounds, building on their consistently strong showings in previous years. “Hips and Hearts” held their ground near the top, while the the “Myocyte Minds” from Western Health Melbourne were not giving up, and jumped 3 placings late in the first half. The Royal Adelaide Hospital team steadily climbed the leaderboard to finish the first half in top position.

The second half brought plenty of twists. All teams made some fantastic correct answer streaks and most teams featured in the top 5 leaderboard at some stage in the second half. Notably the “Tassie Tickers” (Royal Hobart Hospital), Newy Hunters (John Hunter Hospital) and “Ventricools, (Macquarie Health) made their presence known in the later rounds.

As the final four questions arrived—with double points in play—the competition tightened dramatically. In a thrilling finish, it was Coronary Crust from Royal Adelaide Hospital who clinched the win, thanks to a strong second-half and sharp answers when it mattered most.
