Andrew E. Ajani is a cardiologist based in Grattan Street, Melbourne (VIC). He looks after people who are dealing with heart and blood vessel problems, from sudden flare-ups to ongoing care. Cardiac issues can be scary and stressful, so the approach is usually calm and practical, with clear next steps.
In many cases, his work includes supporting patients after an acute coronary event. That can mean a heart attack or acute coronary syndrome, and sometimes the situation is urgent, like cardiogenic shock or a period of cardiac arrest. He also cares for people with angina, both stable angina and unstable angina, where symptoms can come and go, or start changing over time.
Andrew also helps with heart procedures and treatment plans. This may involve things like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and angioplasty to open blocked arteries. At times, patients may need additional options such as atherectomy or thrombectomy, depending on what’s going on in the vessels. He works in the same space as people who have had heart bypass surgery (CABG) as well, especially when follow-up care is needed for ongoing coronary heart disease.
Heart problems don’t always sit only in the chest. Over time, he may also manage conditions that link with the heart and circulation, like heart failure and cardiomyopathy. There’s also care for broader circulation issues such as peripheral artery disease, and for stroke risk and outcomes where heart health and blood flow are closely connected. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) can play a role too, and it often needs careful planning alongside heart treatment.
If you’re coming in with symptoms, it helps to bring details about what you’re feeling, when it started, and any other health conditions you have. Andrew’s focus is on making sure the heart problem is understood properly, and that the treatment matches the situation, not just the name of the condition.
