Sharon Chih is a cardiologist based in Wellington Street, Perth, WA, Australia.
Cardiologists deal with the heart and blood vessels. Sharon’s work is focused on people with more serious or complex heart problems, especially when things need close monitoring and a clear plan. That can include conditions like heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and coronary heart disease. At times, patients are also dealing with complications from a heart attack, which can make recovery feel heavy and stressful.
Sharon also looks after people with heart inflammation, including myocarditis, and rarer types such as giant cell myocarditis. These conditions can come on quickly and can affect the heart’s pumping ability. In many cases, treatment needs to be started early, and follow-up is important so the heart can be supported as it recovers.
Some patients Sharon sees are very unwell. This can include cardiogenic shock, where the heart isn’t able to pump enough blood to the rest of the body. When that happens, the focus is on stabilising the patient first, then working out the safest next steps for long-term care. It’s a tough situation for patients and families, and it often involves coordinated care with other specialists.
Sharon’s practice also covers advanced care pathways. Her work includes heart transplant and lung transplant cases, which can involve careful timing and a lot of medical support before and after treatment. Even when a transplant isn’t the final outcome, these conversations can help people understand what options are available and what recovery could look like.
Over time, Sharon works with patients across the full journey—new symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term heart care. She pays attention to how people are coping day to day, not just test results. That means making sure plans are clear, and that questions are taken seriously.
In terms of background, the education and research details aren’t listed here, and clinical trials information isn’t provided in the profile. What is clear from the focus of her service is that Sharon is trained for complex heart cases where careful decision-making matters.
