About
Sing-Chien Yap is a cardiologist and clinical researcher whose work centers on the innovative application of robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) in catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias. With a focused expertise in electrophysiology, Yap has made meaningful contributions to advancing the safety, precision, and efficacy of minimally invasive arrhythmia treatment. His research has been instrumental in addressing key limitations of RMN-guided ablation, most notably through his work on catheter-tissue contact feedback — a historically recognized shortcoming of the technology. His 2020 study introducing the e-Contact module demonstrated that real-time contact quality assessment could be safely and feasibly integrated into RMN workflows, garnering 11 citations. As a contributor to the 2024 Society for Cardiac Robotic Navigation position paper on best practices, also with 11 citations, Yap has helped shape international clinical standards in the field. His pioneering first-in-human feasibility study integrating dipole charge density mapping with RMN further highlights his commitment to pushing the boundaries of high-resolution cardiac mapping. Collectively, Yap's body of work reflects a sustained dedication to refining robotic-guided cardiac interventions, making him a notable voice in contemporary electrophysiology research.
