Most recently, Dr. Singh has become one of the first Cardiologist to introduce two innovative procedures to Kern County: Watchman LAAC (Left Atrial Appendage Closure) Implant, which reduces patients’ alternative long-term need for blood-thinning medication and reduce the risk of strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation; and TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) which is a minimally invasive procedure to close holes in the heart.
