Professor Wang’s research has centred on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, with particular emphasis on risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, endogenous protective mechanisms, and the application of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice. He has contributed to the development of standardised approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and to clinical management of hypertension. His work has also advanced the application of genetic diagnosis and personalised medicine, including the development of more than 600 gene-diagnosis projects addressing a range of complex clinical conditions. His research and clinical programmes have included genetic diagnosis of arrhythmias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, infantile jaundice, and large-vessel diseases, contributing to the application of genomic information in clinical decision-making. Through sustained clinical research, translational work, and medical practice, Professor Wang has contributed to connecting advances in cardiovascular medicine and genetic diagnosis with practical applications in precision medicine, evidence-based clinical care, and the diagnosis and management of complex cardiovascular diseases.
