Position：Head of SAHZU, Chair of Heart Center, Editor-in-Chief, JACC: Asia
Department：Cardiology
Academic Rank：Professor, Chief Physician
Dr. Jian'an Wang currently serves as the head of the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine (SAHZU), as well as the Professor and Associate Dean of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Under his leadership for over 10 years as a hospital president, SAHZU has been moved up to a top-ranking hospital in China.
As an experienced interventional cardiologist, he spearheaded the efforts in establishing and developing one of the biggest valvular heart disease programs in Asia and was invited to proctor TAVR procedure in Asia, Europe and South America. He has developed several CFDA approved innovative devices for valvular interventions in collaboration with engineers, CV colleagues and manufacturers. His bench side research focuses on improving the efficacy of stem cell implantation in infarcted myocardium. He is a veteran principal investigator of clinical trials including big sample international multicenter RCT studies. His FLAVOUR study with counterparts in South Korea was published on NEJM and selected as late breaking trial of ACC 2022.
Deeply engaged in activities of medical societies, he currently serves as the Vice Chairman of Chinese Cardiology Society and the Co-Chairman of Congenital Structural Interventions headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. He is the inaugural Editor-in-Chief of JACC: Asia and World Journal of Emergency Medicine as well. In view of his remarkable contribution to CV, he was appointed as member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023.

Development of transcatheter aortic valve interventional devices and valve repair devices with independent intellectual property rights.
Innovation on theory and technique of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), especially supra-annular structure based sizing strategy (Hangzhou Solution), which has significantly lowerd TAVR mortality and complication rates. This strategy now is widely accepted worldwide among cardiologists.
Proposition of important theories of cardiac function reconstruction after myocardial infarction, including the theory and scheme of hypoxic preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells to improve cardiac function, and the discovery of important paracrine substances and molecular mechanisms.
Longest cycle of non-human primate research in the field of cardiac function reconstruction.
