Andreas Pflaumer is a cardiologist based in Parkville, VIC. You’ll find the practice on Flemington Rd, Parkville, VIC 3052. Heart health can be stressful, and the focus here is on clear check-ups and steady care for people dealing with a range of heart conditions.
Dr Pflaumer looks after patients across different ages, including babies and newborns, and also adults. Many referrals are for rhythm issues, where the heart beats too fast, too slow, or in an irregular way. This can include problems like atrial septal related issues, supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias, long QT type rhythm concerns, and heart rhythm problems linked to conditions present from birth.
In many cases, the care also covers heart muscle problems. That can mean looking at cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and helping work out what’s going on and what to do next. Some patients also come in with congenital heart disease or specific structural heart concerns, such as atrial septal defects, patent foramen ovale, and certain congenital heart block issues.
At times, treatment can involve procedures, depending on the person and the diagnosis. Dr Pflaumer provides care that may include cardiac ablation for certain rhythm problems, pacemaker implantation, and ongoing support for people who need long-term monitoring. The practice also deals with more serious conditions such as cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia, plus more complex cases like patients with heart transplant history or congenital coronary artery malformation.
Overall, the aim is to make the next steps feel manageable. Heart conditions can change over time, and a good plan often needs careful follow-up, so people know what to watch for and when to get help.
