Tom G. Briffa is a cardiologist who looks after people with heart and blood vessel conditions. You’ll find the practice at 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, WA 6009, right in Perth’s western suburbs. Cardiology can feel scary when you’re dealing with symptoms, so the main aim is to help you make sense of what’s going on and what comes next.
Over time, Tom has worked with patients dealing with issues like angina, unstable angina, and acute coronary syndrome. That includes people who’ve had a heart attack, or who need quick checks when chest pain or other warning signs show up. He also supports people with longer-term heart problems, such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and cardiomyopathy. At times, care may also involve managing heart rhythm problems, including atrial fibrillation, and serious events like cardiac arrest where urgent treatment and planning are critical.
Tom’s work includes looking at how heart conditions affect day-to-day life, and helping patients and families understand treatment options in plain English. Depending on what’s going on, this can involve discussing medicines, heart health risk factors, and follow-up plans. In some cases, care can relate to procedures such as aortic valve replacement, where a valve issue needs attention to improve blood flow and ease symptoms.
In terms of training, Tom has completed medical education and further cardiology training, as you’d expect for someone working as a cardiologist. Exact details about degrees or where training took place aren’t shown here, but the focus stays the same—practical, safe heart care. Experience is built through day-to-day work in cardiology, including both urgent and planned appointments, so patients aren’t left to figure things out on their own.
Research and clinical trials can be a part of modern care, but there aren’t any specific trial details listed here. If you want to know whether there are studies or research options that fit your situation, the best step is to ask during your appointment so you get information that matches your health needs.
