Dr. Swaiman Singh is an interventional advanced heart failure cardiologist who provides comprehensive care for patients with end-stage heart failure, cardiac transplantation, and mechanical circulatory support, including high-risk coronary interventions in cardiogenic shock. He specializes in integrating catheter-based therapies with advanced heart failure management, performing complex procedures such as percutaneous ventricular assist devices, CardioMEMS, and coronary revascularizations tailored to heart failure physiology. Beyond clinical practice, he is deeply committed to global cardiovascular health through education, collaborative research, and AI-driven innovation aimed at expanding access to advanced heart failure care in underserved regions worldwide. His expertise uniquely bridges traditional interventional cardiology and heart transplant specialties, enabling seamless, multidisciplinary care for the most complex patients.
Dr. Swaiman Singh's research and academic interests at UC Davis Health focus on pioneering interventional approaches to advanced heart failure and mechanical circulatory support, including the application of intravascular lithotripsy for complex calcified lesions, axillary artery intra-aortic balloon pump techniques to minimize complications in bridge-to-transplant patients, and hemodynamic optimization in cardiogenic shock. His investigative work encompasses multicenter trials on novel percutaneous devices, risk stratification models for 1-year mortality in LVAD-bridged heart transplant recipients, and outcomes analyses of continuous-flow LVADs stratified by race and obesity. Committed to health and education equity globally, he leads large-scale wearable-ECG and stetoscope screening programs in rural India through the 5 Rivers Heart Association, trains local providers via AI-powered tele-education platforms, and drives environmental cardiology research that links industrial groundwater contamination to heart failure prevalence, ensuring cutting-edge knowledge and care reach underserved populations worldwide.
