Ramanathan Parameswaran is a cardiologist based in Melbourne, working from 55 Commercial Rd, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. Cardiology is mostly about keeping the heart rhythm steady, helping people feel more comfortable, and reducing the risk of bigger problems over time.
In day-to-day care, Ramanathan looks after patients with heart rhythm issues such as atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), sick sinus syndrome, and ventricular tachycardia. Some people come in because of palpitations or a “skipping” feeling in the chest. Others are dealing with dizziness, shortness of breath, or episodes where the heart suddenly races.
At times, patients also need deeper rhythm treatment. Ramanathan provides care around cardiac ablation, which can help when medicines aren’t enough or when episodes keep coming back. There are different types of ablation, and the right option depends on what’s causing the rhythm problem and how the heart is behaving. He also focuses on conditions that can trigger or worsen rhythm problems, including obstructive sleep apnoea, which is more common than many people realise.
Heart health doesn’t always sit in isolation. Ramanathan also works with people who may have other health issues alongside their heart concerns, including thrombocytopenia and autoimmune-related conditions such as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. The same goes for more complex cases, where care may need to be coordinated alongside other medical teams. Over time, that approach helps people feel less overwhelmed, and it can make decisions about treatment feel clearer.
Ramanathan’s background includes ongoing clinical work caring for patients with arrhythmias and related heart conditions. If you’re looking for a calm, practical conversation about symptoms, test results, and treatment next steps, you can start by discussing what’s been going on and what outcome matters most to you.
