Elizabeth D. Paratz is a cardiologist based at 29 Regent Street, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, Australia. She looks after heart and blood vessel health, especially when things need prompt, clear care. If you’re dealing with ongoing symptoms, a new change in your health, or something more serious, her focus is on getting the right heart tests and planning next steps that make sense.
In many cases, patients see her for problems like high blood pressure, heart failure, and coronary heart disease. That can include chest pain or pressure, unstable angina, and acute coronary syndrome. At times, people are also referred after a heart attack, or when doctors are looking at the cause of symptoms such as breathlessness, tiredness, or swelling.
Elizabeth also treats heart muscle conditions. This includes cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including familial forms. Heart rhythm issues are another big part of her work. That covers things like palpitations and fast, irregular beats, including paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). More urgent rhythm problems, such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, are also part of the type of care her practice supports.
Some patients need help with valve or structural heart issues. This can include mitral valve regurgitation, plus congenital or ongoing conditions such as atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defects (VSD). There is also care for patent foramen ovale. In addition, she manages serious problems involving the aorta, such as thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection.
Over time, her clinic supports a wide range of heart-related scenarios, including myocarditis and conditions linked with inflammation. She also works with people where coronary artery problems are the main concern, such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and coronary artery spasm. When appropriate, care can involve procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
