Rukshen Weerasooriya is a cardiologist based in Wellington Street, Perth, WA 2213, Australia. The main focus of the work is heart rhythm care. That can mean dealing with fast, slow, or irregular beats that can make you feel unwell, worried, or just not like yourself.
In many cases, Rukshen looks after people with atrial fibrillation and other rhythm problems such as atrial tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), and a range of arrhythmias. At times, care also involves more serious rhythm issues, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Pulmonary vein stenosis can also be part of the picture, depending on the individual situation.
Heart rhythm problems can come and go. Some people have short episodes that settle down, while others have symptoms that keep returning or last longer than expected. Because of that, the approach is practical and patient-focused. The goal is to help work out what is happening, explain options clearly, and support better rhythm control over time.
Cardiac ablation is a key part of the service. Rukshen provides care that includes treatment for conditions where ablation may help reduce abnormal rhythm signals. This can be considered when medicines don’t fully control symptoms, or when the rhythm pattern keeps coming back. The decision is usually based on the person’s specific rhythm type and how it affects day to day life.
Over time, this type of cardiology work also means staying close to what’s new in the field. Rukshen keeps an eye on current research and updated treatment approaches, especially when they can make a real difference for people living with ongoing arrhythmias.
Clinical trials are sometimes part of the wider treatment landscape in cardiology, though specific trial details are not listed here. If you’re interested in what might be available, the best step is to ask during your appointment so you can understand what applies to your own case.
Rukshen is the sort of cardiologist who keeps the conversation grounded. Heart rhythm issues can be scary, but they are often manageable. With the right plan, many people find their symptoms become easier to handle, and their heart rhythm becomes more stable.
