At the prestigious Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) Conference, Dato’ Dr Tamil Selvan, Consultant Cardiologist at CVSKL, presented findings from the Malaysia Intravascular Lithotripsy Study, a Malaysian collaboration with Elixir Medical.
The study evaluated a new treatment technique called Hertz Contact Intravascular Lithotripsy (HC-IVL), which uses mechanical pressure waves to gently break calcium in artery walls. This helps improve blood flow and ensures better stent expansion in patients with heavily calcified coronary arteries. Key findings included:
• 96.1% of patients were free from major cardiac events within 30 days
• 96.3% achieved optimal stent expansion with minimal blockage
• Proven effective even in complex or multi-vessel disease
These promising results highlight the potential of HC-IVL as a safer and more precise option for patients with challenging heart conditions and mark another proud milestone for CVSKL in advancing cardiovascular research on a global stage.
Datuk Dr Rosli Mohd Ali, our consultant cardiologist, was among the distinguished speakers at the Asia Pacific Cardiology Update 2025, organised by the Malaysian East Coast Cardiology Society (MECCS).
He shared his clinical perspectives on TAVI in asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis, drawing from his extensive experience in structural heart interventions. In addition, he presented updates from the 2nd Asia Pacific Consensus Report on the Use of DCB, offering valuable insights into the latest developments and best practices in the field.
Dr Rosli also took part as a panelist in the PCI vs CABG debate for CHIP (Complex High-Risk and Indicated Procedures) cases, contributing to discussions that shape real-world interventional strategies.
As a recognised Centre of Excellence for Complex High-Risk and Indicated Procedures (CHIP) and structural heart interventions, CVSKL remains steadfast in advancing cardiovascular knowledge through education, research, and shared expertise.

In celebration of World Heart Day 2025, our Senior Physiotherapist, Ms Carmen Pang, was invited as a speaker by the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at Management and Science University (MSU) to share valuable insights on cardiac rehabilitation.
Cardiac rehabilitation helps patients rebuild confidence, restore heart strength, and maintain long-term heart health. Ms Carmen highlighted the importance of guided recovery by helping patients understand when to begin post-surgery exercises, how to safely rebuild strength, and how to overcome the fear of returning to physical activity after heart surgery.
The forum also featured experts including Dr Suhaimi bin Osman, Consultant Cardiologist from MSUMC, Puan Samirah Taufiq, Nutritionist from UKM, and Encik Saupi Nazri, a heart disease survivor and patient advocate from Kelab Cakna Jantung Malaysia.
At CVSKL, we continuously support knowledge-sharing initiatives like this, as our physiotherapy team strives to empower the public to lead healthier lives and regain confidence, even after heart surgery.

You might think it is harmless, maybe just tired muscles or dehydration. But if it happens often when you walk, it could be a sign of Peripheral Vascular/Arterial Disease (PVD). If left untreated, PVD can worsen over time and lead to tissue damage, ulcers, or even limb loss.
For patients diagnosed with Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), CVSKL offers personalised treatment plans that combine medical therapy and advanced procedures to restore healthy blood flow and prevent disease progression. Treatment options may include medications to manage cholesterol and reduce complications, along with minimally invasive endovascular techniques such as angioplasty, stenting and atherectomy. All aimed at improving circulation without the need for open surgery.
At CVSKL, our Consultant Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, Dr Tan Kong Hean, and the Vascular Team provide comprehensive assessments to accurately detect PVD. Don’t wait for the pain to worsen.

When oestrogen levels drop after menopause, your heart loses one of its natural protectors. Low oestrogen can cause arteries to stiffen and cholesterol levels to rise, increasing your risk of heart disease. But that is not the only reason. After menopause, changes in blood pressure, weight, and insulin levels can also put extra strain on your heart. Together, these shifts can double a woman’s risk of a heart attack.
Dr Lee Li Ching, Consultant Cardiologist & Physician, emphasises that women often brush off symptoms as “just menopause”, until it becomes something more serious. She reminds every menopausal woman to listen to your body and take early action. A simple heart screening could make all the difference.
