About of Melina Gattellari

Melina Gattellari is a cardiologist who works with people across Liverpool and the wider NSW area. You’ll find her practice at 1 Campbell Street, Liverpool NSW 2170, Australia.


In her day-to-day work, she looks after patients who are dealing with heart-related and blood-flow problems. This includes conditions like atrial fibrillation, which can raise the risk of clots. She also supports people after a stroke and those who have had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). At times, this care needs to be fast and careful, because every minute can matter for outcomes.


Melina’s clinical focus also includes stroke-related treatments such as thrombectomy, as well as ongoing support for people with stroke risk and recovery needs. She works with patients who may have had bleeding concerns too, including gastrointestinal bleeding. When these issues come up alongside heart conditions, it can feel stressful and confusing, so clear communication and a practical plan are important.


Her experience is based on caring for people who need cardiology input in real-world situations, not just routine visits. That means thinking about how heart rhythm and clot risk fit with overall health, symptoms, and what the next steps should be. Over time, that approach helps patients feel more informed, especially when they’re trying to understand why certain tests or treatments are recommended.


Education details aren’t listed here, but her work as a cardiologist is built on core medical training and cardiology qualifications. She uses that background to guide decision-making and to coordinate with other parts of the health team when needed.


Research and clinical trials information isn’t provided in the details available, so any trial involvement would need to be discussed directly with the clinic. If you’re booking an appointment, it can also help to bring along any recent test results and a list of current medicines, especially if you’ve been dealing with atrial fibrillation, TIA, or stroke care.
