Dr Yalini Sundararajah graduated from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. Following her basic physician training and advanced training in Cardiology, she completed her fellowship in interventional cardiology at Western Health Melbourne. She subsequently practised as an interventional cardiologist in Sri Lanka for a few years, working across tertiary care centres and regional hospitals with coronary care facilities.

Yalini Sundararajah is a cardiologist with special interests in women’s cardiovascular health. Her training and experience in coronary physiology and intervention helped her study and observe patterns of cardiovascular disease in females, especially ischaemic heart disease. She conducted many studies on the patterns of ischaemic heart disease in females and presented her research at cardiology conferences. She pays particular attention to the treatment of women with chest pain, dyspnoea and non-obstructive coronary artery disease.

Upon returning to Australia, she completed a cardiology fellowship in heart failure and imaging at Flinders Medical Centre as part of her peer review. Her current clinical approach brings together her experience in coronary artery disease and intervention with her expertise in heart failure, cardiomyopathy and multi-modality cardiac imaging.

Dr Sundararajah believes that prevention is one of the most effective ways to reduce the long-term burden of cardiovascular disease and promote a healthier future for the next generation. She places particular emphasis on cardiovascular risk assessment and managing high cholesterol, hypertension, and cardiometabolic conditions.

Alongside her clinical practice, Dr Sundararajah is a cardiovascular researcher at Flinders University and an active member of the Research Department at Flinders Medical Centre. She is also embarking on her PhD in cardiomyopathy.

Dr Sundararajah is committed to providing holistic, compassionate, and patient-centred clinical care. She values clear communication, evidence-based decision-making, and close collaboration with patients, general practitioners, other specialists, and healthcare professionals to understand and manage complex patient conditions and develop individualised, practical management plans.

She is fluent in Tamil and Sinhala and can also understand Hindi and other South Indian languages (Malayalam and Telugu). Outside cardiology, Yalini enjoys exploring different cuisines, baking, travelling, and performing Bharatanatyam, a form of Indian classical dance.
