About of Alexandra Butters

Alexandra Butters is a Cardiologist based in Camperdown, NSW, Australia. She looks after adults and people at risk of heart problems, especially when the issue involves heart muscle and heart rhythm. If you’re dealing with symptoms that keep coming back, like fainting episodes, feeling out of breath, or changes in how your heart beats, she can help you make sense of what’s going on and what to do next.


Her clinical work covers familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and other forms of cardiomyopathy. She also cares for people with atrial fibrillation, including situations where an irregular heartbeat is affecting day-to-day life. Over time, she focuses on getting a clear plan for ongoing monitoring and treatment, because heart conditions can shift and change.


At times, patients see her after more serious events. This can include ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest history, or when someone has had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). She also treats people who have fainted, whether it’s been fully explained already or still needs careful investigation. The goal is to support safer long-term choices and reduce the risk of complications.


Heart failure is another part of her cardiology practice. When the heart is struggling to pump well, it can show up as tiredness, breathlessness, and fluid build-up. In many cases, a steady, practical approach helps patients feel more in control, especially when lifestyle changes, medicines, and follow-up appointments all need to work together.


Alexandra’s background includes work as a cardiologist caring for patients with complex heart conditions. She takes the time to explain things in plain language and stays focused on what matters most for each person, not just the test results. There isn’t a long list of “rare” conditions here—just the real-world issues that bring people into cardiology care.
