Professor Fu Siong Ng Professor of cardiology, consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist

Background

Professor Fu Siong Ng is a professor of cardiology at Imperial College London, and a consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. He is a clinical academic and divides his time between treating patients with heart rhythm disorders, by performing invasive catheter ablation procedures and implanting pacemakers and defibrillators, and directing a programme of research into mechanisms of arrhythmias and developing novel treatments for his patients.

Prof Ng studied medicine at St. George’s, University of London between 1997 and 2003. He was awarded a first class (honours) BSc degree in medical sciences and clinical pharmacology, having ranked top in his year in multiple examinations, and then obtained distinctions at his final MBBS examinations. He then received his clinical training in cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at several London hospitals, including Hammersmith and St Mary’s hospitals. Prof Ng was awarded his PhD by Imperial College London in 2012 after conducting studies into the effects of gap junction modulation on myocardial structure and function. He then spent a year conducting post-doctoral research in the USA, at Washington University in Saint Louis, conducting optical mapping experiments on explanted human hearts, before returning to Imperial.

Prof Ng is accredited as a cardiac electrophysiology specialist by the European Heart Rhythm Association, is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Prof Ng’s subspecialty is in cardiac electrophysiology and heart rhythm disorders.

He performs catheter ablation procedures for a range of arrhythmias (e.g. atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardias, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular ectopy/tachycardia) and implants implantable cardiac devices (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators, loop recorders, biventricular pacemakers (CRT)).

 

Expertise

Cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, coronary artery disease, chest pain, palpitations, breathlessness, fainting.

Research & publications

Professor Ng is a professor of cardiology at the National Heart & Lung Institute, Imperial College London.

As a clinical academic, Prof Ng directs a research programme at Imperial College London, which is focused on understanding complex arrhythmia mechanisms and developing new technologies and treatments to improve the outcomes of patients with arrhythmias.

Prof Ng leads a multidisciplinary research group that consists of clinicians, biologists, engineers, physicists, and AI-scientists. He currently supervises three post-doctoral research associates and eight PhD students at Imperial. He has more than 160 peer-reviewed publications and four patents, and currently holds a five-year British Heart Foundation Programme Grant as Principal Investigator.
