Warwick W. Butt is a Paediatric Cardiologist based in Parkville, VIC. He works out of 50 Flemington Road, Parkville, VIC 3052, and looks after children who have heart problems, from newborns through to older kids.
Paediatric heart care can be complex, and babies and children can get unwell quite quickly. In many cases, Warwick helps families when a child has a heart condition present from birth, like congenital heart disease. He also works with kids who may have issues such as atrial septal defect (ASD), patent foramen ovale (PFO), or more serious problems like hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). At times, this care is also about checking how well the heart is coping during a bigger illness.
His role can include looking after children after sudden events too. For example, some children need urgent heart assessment when there has been cardiac arrest or when they are very unwell with cardiogenic shock. He also treats heart muscle inflammation, such as paediatric myocarditis, and heart failure in kids.
Not all referrals are only about the heart. Sometimes the heart shows up as part of a wider problem in a child, like Kawasaki disease or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Other times, children may come in with severe infections or breathing problems where the heart needs careful monitoring.
Experience and education details aren’t listed on this profile, so exact years or training history can’t be confirmed here. If you need those specifics, the practice can usually provide them when you contact the clinic.
On research and clinical trials: no trial details are listed on this profile. That said, paediatric cardiology is an area where treatments and care plans keep improving, and Warwick’s approach is guided by current best practice used in Australian hospitals.
Overall, the focus is on steady, practical care—listening to families, explaining what’s going on in clear terms, and helping kids get the right treatment as fast as possible when it matters most.
