Heart Rhythm & Arrhythmia – Specialist Cardiologist in Australia
Heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) include conditions such as atrial fibrillation, palpitations, and slow or fast heartbeats. Our cardiologists specialise in diagnosing and treating these conditions with medication, lifestyle advice, and when needed, procedures such as ablation or pacemakers.
Who it's for
This service is for anyone with symptoms or a diagnosis of an arrhythmia: palpitations, fluttering in the chest, dizziness, fainting, or shortness of breath. We also see patients with atrial fibrillation for rhythm or rate control and stroke risk management.
What to expect
We will take a detailed history of your symptoms and may arrange an ECG, Holter monitor, or other rhythm monitoring. Treatment options are explained in plain language and may include medication, lifestyle changes, cardioversion, ablation, or a pacemaker. We work with electrophysiology colleagues when needed.
When to see a cardiologist
See a cardiologist if you have recurrent palpitations, dizziness or fainting, or if you have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation or another arrhythmia and need specialist management.
Frequently asked questions
Palpitations can be caused by stress, caffeine, exercise, or an underlying arrhythmia. A cardiologist can help determine the cause through history, examination, and sometimes monitoring.
