About
Chi Keong Ching is a leading figure in cardiac electrophysiology, with a research focus on improving the safety and precision of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. His major contributions center on understanding the biomechanics of ablation—specifically, the critical relationship between catheter contact force and lesion formation. His seminal 2008 paper, cited over 160 times, established a direct link between applied force (measured in grams) and complications such as tissue popping and char formation, using a robotic navigation system. This work has fundamentally shaped clinical protocols to minimize risks. More recently, Dr. Ching has pioneered the integration of real-time MRI guidance with robotic platforms, as demonstrated in his 2022 study on shape tracking and feedback control for pulmonary vein isolation. This innovative work, which combines advanced imaging with robotic control, promises to enhance intraoperative monitoring and procedural accuracy. With over 50 citations for this emerging technology, Dr. Ching’s research continues to bridge the gap between robotic engineering and clinical electrophysiology, driving safer, more effective treatments for arrhythmia patients.
