Dr Goh’s clinical focus encompasses preventive cardiology through the management of cardiovascular risk factors and advocacy for women’s heart health. She personally performs or reviews all echocardiograms conducted at the clinic. She is a strong advocate for raising awareness of cardiovascular disease in women, a population in whom symptoms and risk factors are often under-recognised.
What does Dr Goh Ping Ping specialise in?
Dr Goh specialises in echocardiography, including exercise and pharmacological stress echocardiography and transoesophageal echocardiography. She has a clinical focus on preventive cardiology and women’s cardiovascular health.
What is stress echocardiography?
Stress echocardiography is a cardiac imaging test that uses ultrasound to assess how the heart functions under physical or pharmacological stress. It is used to detect coronary artery disease and assess heart valve function. Dr Goh Ping Ping performs both exercise stress and pharmacological stress echocardiography at AHVC.
Why is women’s heart health different?
Heart disease in women can present differently from men, with symptoms that may be less typical. Certain risk factors, such as diabetes and autoimmune conditions, carry a proportionally greater risk for women. Early recognition and tailored preventive strategies are important for women’s cardiovascular health.
