Rajiv P. Mahajan is a cardiologist based in Adelaide, South Australia. He helps people who have heart rhythm problems and other heart-related health issues. If your symptoms keep coming back, or you are not sure what is going on, he works with you to get things clearer and plan the next step.
Heart conditions he commonly looks after include atrial fibrillation, arrhythmias, heart failure, and mitral valve problems such as mitral valve prolapse. He also sees patients with high blood pressure, episodes of fainting, and chest pain that can be linked to heart attacks. Some people come in after a cardiac arrest, or with ongoing issues like ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia.
Mahajan also deals with patients where the heart symptoms are part of a bigger picture. This can include metabolic syndrome and obesity, and cases involving metabolic or blood chemistry changes like high potassium. At times, he may support care plans for people with conditions such as sarcoidosis that can affect the heart, or people who have trouble managing symptoms like breathlessness, dizziness, or palpitations.
In many cases, care includes testing and treatment options that may involve procedures. He provides assessment for things like pacemaker implantation, and he also works with people who need cardiac ablation for rhythm problems. He understands how unsettling it can feel when your heart rate suddenly changes, or when you get fast beats, skipped beats, or uneven rhythms.
Over time, Mahajan has built experience across a wide range of heart problems, from steady long-term conditions to quicker, more sudden episodes. His medical education includes completing general medical training and then further cardiology study. He also keeps up with current practice updates in cardiology, so patients can access care that matches what is used in real life now.
