Dr Ernest Ng is a Consultant Cardiologist with a special interest in interventional cardiology as well as the management of heart rhythm abnormalities. He graduated from Leicester Medical School, United Kingdom in 1996. He completed his general medical training in the Midlands before specialising further in cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at the Glenfield Hospital, Leicester.
On his return to Malaysia in 2004, he served at Penang General Hospital and furthered his training in interventional cardiology. At Serdang Hospital in 2006, he helped to develop the first electrophysiology service in the Ministry of Health, Malaysia.
