Hirohiko Kohjitani

Hirohiko Kohjitani, MD, PhD, is a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Kyoto University Hospital and a Senior Lecturer at the Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine. His clinical expertise includes cardiac arrhythmias and catheter ablation, and he is a board-certified specialist in cardiology, arrhythmia, and internal medicine in Japan.

Dr. Kohjitani’s research bridges cardiac electrophysiology, artificial intelligence, and computational medicine. His areas of interest include medical AI and machine learning, mathematical modeling and optimization, computer simulation, genetic arrhythmias, cellular electrophysiology, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. His work explores how advanced computational approaches can improve the diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment of cardiovascular disease and cardiac arrhythmias.

In addition to his clinical and academic roles at Kyoto University, Dr. Kohjitani is involved in interdisciplinary research and industry-academic collaborations focused on translating AI-driven cardiovascular technologies into clinical practice. He earned both his medical degree and PhD from Kyoto University and is a member of professional organizations including the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society and Japanese Circulation Society.
