About of Han S. Lim

Han S. Lim is a cardiologist working from 145 Studley Road, Heidelberg, VIC 3084, Australia.


Cardiology is about the heart and blood vessels, and that can cover a lot of different problems. In clinic, Han looks after patients with heart rhythm issues, including atrial fibrillation and other types of fast or irregular heartbeats. This can also include conditions like paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ectopic heartbeats, and long QT syndrome.


Sometimes heart problems show up in bigger ways too. Han also helps manage issues such as coronary heart disease and heart attack. There’s also support for people with heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and mitral valve prolapse. At times, care may be needed for conduction problems, like heart block.


For some patients, the heart rhythm problem is the main issue, and treatment may include cardiac ablation. This is used in selected cases to help stop abnormal electrical signals that cause symptoms. Han may also support patients who have had more serious rhythm problems, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, as well as episodes connected with cardiac arrest.


In many cases, people come in because they feel breathless, unwell, chest discomfort, or they notice palpitations that won’t settle. Other times it’s about checking risks and planning ongoing care, especially where there’s a history of stroke or other related health concerns.


There are also some less common conditions listed that can affect how the body responds to daily movement and stress. For example, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) can cause fast heart rate when a person stands up, and it can feel quite frightening even when the heart is otherwise structurally okay.


Information about work history, education, research, and any clinical trial involvement wasn’t provided here. What is clear is the focus on heart-related diagnosis and treatment, including rhythm care and procedures like ablation, based on the conditions listed for this practice.
