Graham S. Hillis is a cardiologist in Crawley, WA. You’ll find the practice at 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. He helps people with heart-related problems, from day-to-day heart risk to more urgent issues that need quick attention.
In many cases, appointments focus on things like coronary heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. These can build up over time, and they can raise the risk of heart attack or unstable angina. Graham also looks after people who live with type 2 diabetes, and who may have added heart strain as well as kidney problems.
Some patients come in after symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, or feeling weak. At times this links to conditions like atrial fibrillation, heart failure, or problems with blood flow to the heart. There are also heart valve issues he manages, including aortic valve stenosis and the need for aortic valve replacement, which can involve treatments like TAVR. For some people, care may include planning around procedures such as PCI, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or heart bypass surgery.
Graham’s care covers a wider mix too. This can include strokes where the heart and blood vessels play a role, plus situations such as low blood pressure. He also supports people dealing with atherosclerosis and helps guide management when there’s a higher inherited risk, such as familial hypercholesterolaemia or other rare lipid and protein-related conditions.
Because heart issues can be affected by other illnesses, he may also be involved when people are recovering from infections like COVID-19, or when chest pain is linked to inflammation such as pericarditis. In more complex cases, and when hospital treatment is needed, a cardiologist’s role is to keep the heart plan clear and steady, so the right treatment is followed at the right time.
