Hugh R. Barrett is a cardiologist based in Crawley, WA. His practice is at 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. If you’ve been told you have high cholesterol or your heart health needs extra attention, he looks after people with long-term risk factors and helps them understand what can be done next.
Cardiovascular health is often linked to how the body handles fats and sugars. In many cases, this includes conditions like Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia, Familial Hypercholesterolemia, and high cholesterol more broadly. There are also rarer genetic lipid issues that can run in families, such as Familial Hypertriglyceridemia, Familial Hypobetalipoproteinemia, and Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). Hugh also deals with Defective Apolipoprotein B-100 and Hypolipoproteinemia, which can affect cholesterol levels and increase heart risk.
He also focuses on metabolic health, because weight and blood sugar can play a big role. That can include Abdominal Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity, and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Menopause is another common part of the picture for many people, and it can change how the body handles weight and hormones. Over time, these factors can add to the chance of heart and blood vessel problems.
For people who already have signs of artery disease, his care covers conditions such as atherosclerosis, Carotid Artery Disease, and Coronary Heart Disease. At times, these diagnoses come after scans, blood tests, or symptoms that need a closer look. The goal is to bring the results together and make sense of the risk, so the next steps are clear and practical.
Family history matters a lot with cholesterol disorders, and it often changes what gets checked and how often. In many cases, early planning and ongoing follow-up can make a real difference, especially when cholesterol is very high or when metabolic issues are present. Hugh’s role is to help patients manage those risks in a steady, informed way.
