He was also the Director of Cardiac Informatics at National University Hospital (NUH) and holds the position of Assistant Professor at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS).

Dr Singh’s speciality lies in diagnosing and treating a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. His expertise lies in managing heart rhythm disorders and has extensive experience in treating complex cardiac arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.

Dr Devinder Singh graduated with the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from Gauhati University, Assam, India. He was conferred the Master of Medicine (MD) in Internal Medicine by Maharishi Dayanand University, Haryana, India, and was admitted as a Member of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), United Kingdom. Thereafter, Dr Devinder Singh completed advanced specialist training in Cardiology, subspecialising in Cardiac Electrophysiology at NUHCS, Singapore. Dr Singh was awarded the Academic Medicine Development Award and completed his advanced fellowship training in cardiac electrophysiology at Duke University Medical and Research Centre, Durham, North Carolina, one of the leading centres in cardiac electrophysiology in the USA.

During his tenure, he trained in advanced cardiac electrophysiology under the pioneers in the field and completed his fellowship in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) — making him the only cardiologist in Singapore who is trained in both cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Beyond his clinical work, Dr Singh serves as an Assistant Professor at the Yong Yoo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, and is actively involved in the education and training of undergraduate and postgraduate medical students. His passion for medical education led him to be a core member in training cardiology residents under the ACGME programme and has mentored many cardiology trainees. He is also an examiner in the final year MBBS examination for graduate medical students held by NUS.

Dr Singh has been involved in the training of cardiac electrophysiology fellows at NUHCS from Singapore and abroad and has been invited as a key faculty speaker and opinion leader in several cardiology conferences. Additionally, he is involved in clinical research and has published widely in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr Devinder Singh is also very actively involved in various media platforms to educate the general public on heart health, cardiac conditions and the various treatments available.

He has been invited on television shows such as Channel 5’s Let’s Talk About Health and Colors TV Asia-Pacific’s Salaam Namaste to talk about heart-related conditions. He was also featured in various print publications such as The Business Times, Asia One, Expat living and Global Health Asia-Pacific.

Area of Treatments

• Heart Rhythm Disorders:

  • Heart rhythm disorders, also known as heart arrhythmias, occur when there is a problem with the electrical signals that coordinate heart beats.
  • Causes the heart to beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly.

• Chest Pain / Discomfort:

  • Chest pains can be caused by various conditions.
  • Heart-related chest pain, such as angina, is felt when the heart muscle does not receive sufficient oxygen-rich blood.
  • Often indicative of a more serious condition, such as Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

• Shortness of Breath:

  • Shortness of breath is a common symptom of heart failure and other cardiac conditions.
  • It is important to consult a cardiologist if you experience difficulty breathing.

• Cardiac Investigations:

  • Non-invasive and minimally invasive cardiac investigations aid in providing a comprehensive diagnosis and determining the best course of treatment.
  • Common investigations include Electrocardiograms (ECG) and Holter Monitoring.

• Pacemakers & Defibrillators:

  • Implantable devices used to treat a wide range of arrhythmias or heartbeat irregularities.
  • Pacemakers correct slow heartbeats, while Defibrillators are used for fast heartbeats.

• Catheter Ablation:

  • Minimally invasive procedure used to correct abnormal heart rhythm.
  • Involves using targeted heat or cold energy to correct abnormalities in the heart.
