Biography
Masateru Takigawa, MD, PhD, is a Junior Associate Professor in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Division of Advanced Arrhythmia Research at Institute of Science Tokyo, where he has served since 2024. He received his MD from Kobe University and his PhD in cardiology from Institute of Science Tokyo, followed by a second PhD in bioimaging from the University of Bordeaux. His clinical and research interests include catheter ablation of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, pulsed field ablation, high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation, electrophysiological mapping, and lesion assessment. He also engaged in translational research related to new technologies. Since 2026, he has chaired the European Section of the International Exchange Committee of the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society. He has contributed to international consensus recommendations on the management of atrial tachycardia.
