Adjunct Associate Professor Ewe See Hooi is a Senior Consultant with the Department of Cardiology and Co-Director of Echocardiography at the National Heart Centre Singapore. Her sub-specialty interest is in echocardiography and multimodality cardiac imaging in structural and valvular heart diseases.
Adj Assoc Prof Ewe graduated with her Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of Sydney in 2001. She subsequently obtained the Membership of Royal College of Physicians (UK) in 2005 and the Certificate of Specialist Accreditation in Cardiology in 2009. Adj Assoc Prof Ewe completed her 2 years of fellowship in Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands, where she learnt and applied advanced techniques of cardiac imaging in various heart conditions. In addition, she has a special interest in multimodality imaging in the area of structural heart intervention, particularly in the emerging catheter-based therapies for valvular diseases. In recognition of her research achievements, she obtained her PhD dissertation from the University of Leiden in 2016.
