Dr Joshua Loh’s expertise lies in managing coronary artery disease with coronary interventions. He is experienced in using contemporary technologies in evaluating and managing coronary artery disease. He is proficient in providing coronary functional and physiology assessment using the flow wire, intracoronary imaging using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and IntraVascular UltraSound (IVUS), performing complex coronary interventions such as left main disease, bifurcations, chronic total occlusions, bypass graft interventions, multivessel coronary angioplasty and treating severely calcified coronary artery disease with specialized devices such as Rotational Atherectomy and Intravascular Lithotripsy.

Dr Joshua Loh is experienced with the use of the latest generation drug-eluting stents, bioresorbable scaffolds and drug-coated balloons. He uses the minimally invasive approach in the majority of his cases using the radial artery access and the distal radial artery access. Dr Joshua Loh is a strong advocate of evidence-based practice and uses technologies and medications that are backed by clinical data and international practice guidelines.

Dr Joshua Loh spent almost two decades in public service. Before moving to private practice, Dr Joshua Loh was a Senior Consultant Cardiologist in the Department of Cardiology, National University Heart Centre, and Visiting Consultant at the Division of Cardiology, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
