Singh is named medical director of Cayuga Heart Institute

ITHACA — Amit K. Singh, M.D., a long-time cardiologist in Tompkins County, has been named to the top post of medical director of the Cayuga Heart Institute, according to a Cayuga Medical Center news release.

 

Singh joined the Cayuga Medical Center medical staff and Ithaca Cardiology Associates (now Ithaca Cardiology of CMA) in 2003. With specialized training in cardiac catheterization, nuclear cardiology, and transesophageal echocardiography, he enhanced the team of invasive cardiologists at Cayuga Medical Center performing cardiac catheterization, the release stated.

 

He worked closely with Dr. Drew Koch, medical director of the Cayuga Medical Center Emergency Department, to develop the Cayuga Medical Center STEMI team, a rapid-response team focused on immediate assessment and treatment of patients with heart attacks. This was a key step in establishing the hospital’s current ability to perform percutaneous coronary interventional services at the Cayuga Heart Institute, now making it a leading cardiac center in Central New York, the release asserts.
