Cardiologist | Heart Failure Intensivist
Dr Chuang Hsuan-Hung is a cardiologist and heart failure intensivist specialising in advanced heart failure, genetic heart disease, prevention of sudden cardiac death, cardio-oncology, and sports cardiology. He manages complex and high-risk cardiovascular conditions, including patients requiring heart transplant evaluation and intensive cardiac care.
Dr Chuang graduated from the National University of Singapore and completed postgraduate training at Singapore General Hospital and the National Heart Centre Singapore. He was awarded scholarships from the Ministry of Health and the National Heart Centre to undertake subspecialty training at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, USA, where he trained in heart failure and transplant medicine, genetic heart disease, and advanced cardiovascular imaging. He subsequently completed a sabbatical fellowship in cardiac and peripheral CT at Lenox Hill Hospital, New York. He previously served as Consultant Cardiologist at the National Heart Centre Singapore and as Clinical Lecturer at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS.

Dr Chuang manages complex and high-risk cardiovascular cases, particularly patients with advanced heart failure, inherited cardiac conditions, and those requiring intensive cardiac care. His approach emphasises precision diagnosis using advanced imaging and clinical assessment, personalised treatment strategies, and the integration of genetic insights and cardiovascular risk factors.
He frequently assesses patients seeking second opinions or specialist-level care for rare cardiac conditions, including athletes, oncology patients, and individuals with genetic heart diseases. He works closely with multidisciplinary teams across AHVC and with cardiothoracic surgeons where surgical intervention may be required.
What does Dr Chuang Hsuan-Hung specialise in?
Dr Chuang specialises in advanced heart failure, genetic heart diseases (including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), prevention of sudden cardiac death, cardio-oncology, and sports cardiology. He manages complex cardiovascular cases, including patients requiring heart transplant evaluation and intensive cardiac care.
What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic heart condition in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. It can cause breathlessness, chest pain, and in some cases, an increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Management includes medications, implantable defibrillators, and in some cases, surgical or catheter-based procedures.
What is cardio-oncology?
Cardio-oncology is the management of cardiovascular conditions that arise as a consequence of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Cancer treatments can affect heart function, and regular cardiac monitoring is important for patients undergoing these therapies. Dr Chuang Hsuan-Hung provides cardio-oncology assessments at AHVC.
What is sports cardiology?
Sports cardiology involves the cardiovascular assessment and management of athletes and physically active individuals, including screening for conditions that may increase the risk of sudden cardiac events during exercise. Dr Chuang Hsuan-Hung provides sports cardiology assessments at AHVC.
