Medical Research- The Heart Institute
We actively pursue research in cardiovascular disorders affecting Singaporeans.

Specific areas of interest include :

  • Non-invasive evaluation of systolic and diastolic cardiac function & electrocardiology
  • Mitral valve regurgitation
  • Pericardial disease
  • Novel atherosclerotic risk factors
  • Radiologic imaging of coronary and thoracic atherosclerosis
  • Angiogenesis
