About of Mary M. Kavurma

Mary M. Kavurma is a cardiologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She works with people who have heart and blood vessel problems, from ongoing issues to sudden, more urgent situations. In many cases, these are conditions that can affect how blood flows through the body, including the heart and the legs.


Her clinical focus includes atherosclerosis, which is when fatty build-up narrows and hardens blood vessels over time. She also looks after Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). PAD can cause pain, cramping, or tired legs when walking, and it can be linked to wider circulation problems.


Mary also treats people with stable angina, which often brings on chest discomfort with activity or stress and then settles with rest. At times, her work extends to acute coronary syndrome, where symptoms can be more sudden and serious. This can include problems related to reduced blood flow to the heart that need prompt medical care.


Some cases can be linked to changes in tissue around damaged blood vessels. The profile lists calcinosis and necrosis as part of her service scope, which can come up when there has been ongoing damage and reduced oxygen supply to tissue.


Mary’s work may also involve Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). PCI is a procedure used to open narrowed coronary arteries. It’s often considered when blood flow to the heart needs help, and it can be part of treatment alongside medicines and other heart care plans.
