Sachin Nayyar is a cardiologist based in Townsville, QLD, at 100, Angus Smith Drive, Townsville, QLD 4814, Australia.
His work is mainly about heart health and heart rhythm. That can mean people who feel fluttering in the chest, get dizzy, faint, or have shortness of breath that comes and goes. In many cases, symptoms can be linked to rhythm problems like atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia), and heart block.
He also helps with more serious rhythm issues, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and conditions such as long QT syndrome. These can be scary when they happen, so the focus is on clear explanations and practical next steps.
Sachin works with patients who have heart muscle problems too. This includes cardiomyopathy types like dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and other forms linked to family patterns such as familial ventricular tachycardia. Heart failure is also part of the picture, along with stroke where heart conditions may play a role.
Cardiac ablation is one of the treatments used for certain rhythm problems. For some people, it can help reduce how often episodes happen, or lower how strong they feel. At other times, care may be more focused on medicines and lifestyle changes, depending on what’s causing the problem.
Over time, he’s built experience caring for people with ongoing heart conditions as well as those who are dealing with new symptoms. Some people come in after an ECG result, a hospital admission, or a worrying event at home. Others have been managing symptoms for months and want answers. Either way, the aim is to get the right diagnosis and map out a plan that makes sense for everyday life.
Training in cardiology includes learning how to assess different heart rhythm disorders and how to support patients with long-term heart conditions. The approach stays hands-on and grounded, with attention to what matters to each person—how they feel, what risks they might face, and what treatment options are realistically available.
For anyone in Townsville looking for a cardiologist who deals with arrhythmias, PSVT, atrial fibrillation, ventricular rhythm issues, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and related heart conditions, Sachin Nayyar is available to help.
