Career
In 2016, Ingles led a survey study which outlined the need for better psychological support for families affected by sudden cardiac death due to a genetic heart disease. This study identified a significant risk for post-traumatic stress and prolonged grief for family members after the sudden cardiac death of a young relative.

Ingles's work in 2018 highlighted an increase in ICD insertion in a study that looked into whether this was caused by increased awareness of risk factors for sudden death, and highlighted an unexpectedly high rate of ICD removals.
