Background

• Dr Reginald Liew is a cardiologist practising at Gleneagles Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Singapore.
• His clinical interests are in cardiac electrophysiology (EP), cardiac arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) and device implantation.
• He is trained in cardiac EP procedures such as catheter ablation (radiofrequency energy that rectifies abnormal heart rhythm) using conventional and 3D-mapping systems. He also performs cardiac device implantation, such as cardiac pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) devices.
• He received his cardiology training at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, UK, and subspecialty training in cardiac arrhythmias at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital and St. George’s Hospital.
• He is the former deputy director of the Research and Development Unit at the National Heart Centre.
• Dr Liew is an assistant professor at the Duke-NUS Medical School, and is the course organiser for the cardiovascular component of the first-year normal body course. He has also mentored cardiologists in the UK, Singapore and the surrounding region in performing cardiac EP procedures, and regularly proctors EP cases in neighbouring countries.
• He has been active in the field of heart rhythm problems, and was involved in some of the early pioneering clinical studies in the UK that validated the use of 3D-mapping systems to treat heart rhythm problems.
• His research interests include atrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death and the use of stem cells in cardiovascular disease. He is also a member of the research committee for the Singapore Heart Foundation and the basic science committee of the Asian Pacific Heart Rhythm Society.
