Shohei Kataoka

Dr. Shohei Kataoka received his MD in 2011 and his PhD in 2019 from a medical school in Japan. After completing clinical training and gaining experience in general cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology in Japan, he joined the Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of California, San Francisco in 2024 and is currently a second-year EP fellow.
His research focuses on atrial remodeling and the mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation, with particular interest in atrial remodeling associated with premature atrial complexes and prolonged PR interval. His work integrates translational animal models with human imaging and electrophysiologic data to identify upstream therapeutic targets for atrial fibrillation.
