A Preventive Approach to Heart Health
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in Singapore and worldwide. Yet much of it is preventable.
Dr MacDonald is a Senior Consultant Cardiologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. He trained in the United Kingdom at some of its most respected cardiology centres, including the Scottish National Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Unit and the Royal Brompton Hospital, London.
His practice is built on a core belief: the most effective cardiology is proactive. By identifying cardiovascular risk early and intervening decisively, it is possible to slow, halt, and in some cases reverse the progression of heart disease.
Whether you are seeking a thorough cardiac assessment, management of an existing heart condition, or a second opinion, Dr MacDonald provides clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to your individual needs.
