Liza M. Thomas is a cardiologist based on Elizabeth Street in Liverpool, NSW 2170.
Heart problems can be scary, and Liza looks after people who need clear answers and steady care. Her clinic work covers many common and more complex heart conditions, including things like atrial fibrillation, heart failure, angina, and the risks that come with coronary heart disease.
At times, patients also come in after an acute event, such as a heart attack, acute coronary syndrome, or other urgent issues. Liza also helps manage high blood pressure and heart conditions linked to long-term health changes, including hypertensive heart disease and low sodium levels when they affect how the heart and body are coping.
Some visits are about rhythm problems. This can include arrhythmias such as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), ventricular tachycardia, and episodes linked to ventricular fibrillation. Liza also works with people who have ongoing rhythm concerns and may need treatment options to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
Her care extends to heart muscle and valve-related conditions too. That can include cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, tricuspid regurgitation, and aortic regurgitation. At times, she also assesses rare causes of heart disease, including cardiac amyloidosis, primary amyloidosis, and familial transthyretin amyloidosis, where the heart muscle is affected over time.
When blood flow and blockages are part of the story, she may discuss heart procedures such as angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In some cases, cardiac ablation may be relevant for rhythm issues. She can also help with follow-up after more serious problems, including endocarditis and complications such as cardiac tamponade.
There are also cases where conditions are connected across the body. For example, Liza may see people with kidney-related issues like chronic kidney disease alongside heart problems. She may also be involved when there are clot-related concerns, such as pulmonary embolism or antiphospholipid syndrome, or when there has been stroke linked to heart and blood vessel risks.
Patients may also be referred after unusual events like spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) or splenic infarction, or when there are ongoing symptoms that need a careful heart-focused plan. Liza’s goal is to help people understand what’s going on, what can be treated, and what the next steps look like.
