Professor Chen’s research has focused on the clinical application of laser technology in cardiovascular medicine, particularly laser angioplasty, laser myocardial revascularisation, and the integration of laser-based approaches with conventional interventional cardiology. Through sustained academic and clinical collaboration between Chinese and American medical institutions, he contributed to the introduction and development of advanced laser medical technologies in China and established one of the country’s early centres for laser cardiovascular intervention. His clinical and research activities contributed to the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and to the training of successive generations of cardiologists and specialists in laser medicine. He authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and several monographs on laser cardiology and received multiple national and ministerial awards for scientific and technological progress. Alongside his clinical research, his leadership in hospital administration and medical education contributed to the development of cardiovascular medicine and the wider application of laser technologies in clinical practice. Collectively, his career reflects a sustained effort to connect advances in laser technology with cardiovascular medicine through clinical research, medical education, and international scientific cooperation.
