Cardiologist | Cardiac Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia Specialist
Dr Pipin Kojodjojo is a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist with subspecialty expertise in catheter ablation for complex arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. He trained and practised in the United Kingdom, completing his medical degree at the University of Bristol and his PhD at Imperial College London, where he also served as a Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist at Hammersmith Hospital and the Heart Science Centre, Harefield Hospital.
Dr Pipin Kojodjojo relocated to Singapore in 2012 and served as a Senior Consultant at the National University Heart Centre Singapore (NUHCS), where he led the Electrophysiology and Pacing Service. He is actively involved in research and has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals. He is an invited faculty member at major international electrophysiology meetings and has proctored catheter ablation procedures across the Asia-Pacific region. He holds a concurrent appointment as Associate Professor at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore.

Dr Pipin Kojodjojo takes a personalised approach to the management of heart rhythm disorders, tailoring treatment to the individual patient’s arrhythmia burden, symptoms, and clinical profile. He has a particular interest in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, including complex persistent and long-standing persistent cases, and in the management of ventricular arrhythmias. He discusses the evidence base for each treatment option with his patients and works collaboratively to develop a management plan aligned with their preferences and goals.
What does Dr Pipin Kojodjojo specialise in?
Dr Pipin Kojodjojo specialises in cardiac electrophysiology and the management of heart rhythm disorders. His focus includes catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, SVT, and atrial flutter, as well as the implantation of pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices, leadless pacemakers, subcutaneous ICDs, and loop recorders.
What is the difference between paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation?
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refers to episodes that start and stop on their own, typically within seven days. Persistent AF lasts longer than seven days and requires medical or electrical cardioversion to restore normal rhythm. Long-standing persistent AF has been present continuously for more than a year. Dr Pipin Kojodjojo performs catheter ablation for all forms of AF at AHVC.
What is ventricular tachycardia (VT)?
Ventricular tachycardia is a fast heart rhythm originating from the lower chambers of the heart. It can cause palpitations, dizziness, or loss of consciousness, and in some cases can be life-threatening. Treatment options include medication, catheter ablation, and implantable defibrillators. Dr Pipin Kojodjojo performs VT ablation at AHVC.
What is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome?
Inherited arrhythmia syndromes are genetic conditions that affect the electrical system of the heart, increasing the risk of dangerous arrhythmias. Examples include Brugada syndrome, Long QT syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Dr Pipin Kojodjojo has experience in the evaluation and management of these conditions.
