Matthew I. Worthley is a cardiologist based in North Adelaide, South Australia. You’ll find his rooms on the 3rd Floor of the Norwich Building, 55 King William Street, North Adelaide SA 5006.
Matthew looks after people with heart and blood vessel problems. That can include chest pain like angina, and issues such as coronary heart disease. At times, patients are seen after events like a heart attack or acute coronary syndrome. He also treats people living with ongoing heart conditions, including high blood pressure and rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation.
Some appointments focus on treatment and planning, not just diagnosis. This can involve options such as angioplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. There are also cases where procedures like cardiac ablation are considered, especially when dealing with certain rhythm issues.
He works with a wider health picture too, because heart care often links with other conditions. For example, he sees patients who also have chronic kidney disease, and people with obstructive sleep apnoea. In some situations, he helps coordinate care where there’s been a stroke or where blood vessel spasm and other circulation problems play a role.
Matthew’s education and experience are built around cardiology care. Over time, he has gained practical know-how in managing common and complex heart problems, from everyday symptoms to more urgent presentations. He keeps up with changes in how heart conditions are checked and treated, using what’s most useful in real-world care.
Research can also matter in cardiology, but in most cases the goal is simple: to make sure the plan fits the person in front of you. If clinical trials are relevant, they’re discussed in a clear way as part of decision-making. At times, that means talking through what’s known, the possible benefits, and any risks, so patients can feel comfortable with the next step.
Appointments with Matthew are about getting clarity, easing worry, and working towards safer heart health in the long run.
