About
Werner Jung is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). His work centers on two critical themes: the clinical outcomes of remote robotic navigation systems and the prevention of procedure-related complications. Jung’s landmark study on oesophageal temperature monitoring (62 citations) provided essential data on the incidence of oesophageal lesions following robotic pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), directly informing safer ablation protocols. He further established the field’s understanding of silent cerebral lesions, demonstrating in a highly cited 2012 paper (51 citations) that the risk of these embolic events varies significantly by technology, with his comparative analysis of robotic versus manual ablation offering crucial guidance for clinical practice. Beyond complication profiles, Jung has systematically evaluated the learning curve and practical benefits of robotic systems, showing how enhanced catheter stability can improve lesion placement. As a principal investigator for the international "Man and Machine" trial, he is leading a prospective noninferiority study comparing manual with robotic AF ablation, a pivotal investigation that will shape the future of interventional electrophysiology.
