John Yiannikas is a cardiologist based in Hospital Road, Concord, NSW, Australia. He looks after people with heart and blood flow problems, and also helps when other parts of the body affect the heart, like the lungs and blood vessels.
In day to day practice, his focus is on heart conditions such as coronary heart disease and heart attacks, as well as heart failure. He also sees people with rhythm and blood flow issues, including coronary artery spasm, and cases where blood pressure runs low and needs careful monitoring.
Some patients come in with problems around the heart lining and how the heart pumps. This can include pericarditis and constrictive pericarditis. Others are dealing with long-term heart strain, like cor pulmonale, or issues linked to high pressure in the lungs, such as pulmonary hypertension. In these situations, it’s often not just the heart that matters, so management needs to be practical and steady.
John also treats a range of heart muscle conditions. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one example. At times, patients may have more complex circulation problems, including Eisenmenger syndrome, where blood flow through the body changes in a big way.
There are also cases that involve blood clots and blood vessel issues, including pulmonary embolism and arteriovenous malformation. And while the list of conditions he manages is broad, the common thread is that he helps people understand what’s going on and what to do next, especially when symptoms are worrying.
At times, heart problems can come up alongside sudden health events or complications, such as cerebral hypoxia or brain abscess. There are also situations like compartment syndrome and other serious conditions where the heart and circulation can be under strain.
