Dr Ooi Yau Wei spent a year running the largest heart failure programme in Singapore, managing patients with complex end-stage heart failure requiring electrical/mechanical assist device therapy and heart transplantation.
He was awarded the Human Manpower Development Program scholarship by Ministry of Health Singapore, in 2010, to further subspecialise in the field of interventional cardiology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He spent a year under the mentorship of 4 world-renowned professors and experts in interventional cardiology, and was trained in the latest techniques in interventional cardiology.
He has performed more than 6,000 invasive coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention procedures, mostly through the less invasive radial (wrist) approach. He has successfully treated many patients with resistant hypertension via non-invasive renal denervation device therapy.
He is currently an adjunct assistant professor at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and a consultant interventional cardiologist at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He is also a clinical senior lecturer at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, a cardiology lead at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, a clinical core faculty member at the National Healthcare Group Cardiology Senior Residency Programme, and an Advanced Cardiac Life Support Instructor.
He is actively involved in clinical research and was the co-investigator in numerous international clinical trials. He has written numerous articles focusing on the management of acute coronary syndromes and coronary stenting, and has been published in multiple international peer-reviewed journals. He is also invited regularly as a speaker and faculty teacher in local and international major cardiology conferences.
He was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Edinburgh in 2010 and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology in 2015.
