| Dr. Rajesh P. Shah, who was born in Penang, pursued his primary medical degree at the National University of Singapore. He then stayed on to train in Cardiology at the National Heart Centre after obtaining his MRCP in Edinburgh, U.K. He completed his training and returned to Penang after obtaining his Fellowships from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, U.K., the Academy of Medicine of Singapore and the European Society of Cardiology. |
| |
Interventional cardiology (treatment of coronary blockages by balloons and stents) has been his primary interest and coronary intervention has been his forte. Recently, with the availability of drug eluting stents, which are better than ordinary stents, there has been even more interest in interventional cardiology. |
| |
| Dr. Shah continues to practise general cardiology in order to provide comprehensive care to his patients. He is proficient in echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and rhythm management. He continues to have a keen interest in clinical research and is the principal investigator in the international multi-centre ONTARGET
/ TRANSCEND trial. |
| |
| Dr. Shah was involved with the setting up of the non-invasive coronary and peripheral angiography services in the hospital which uses the latest 64 multi-slice C.T. technology. |
| |
| Dr. Shah is a third generation Gujarati Hindu in Penang and is happily married with 2 children. He enjoys playing and listening to music. |
