Biography
Dr. Sung Il Im is an Associate Professor in the Division of Cardiology at Kosin University Gospel Hospital, specializing in cardiac arrhythmias and atrial and ventricular functional studies. He earned his M.D. and Bachelor in Medical Science from Gyeong Sang National University (1997–2003), a Master in Medical Science (2005–2007) with a thesis on P wave dispersion in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and a Ph.D. in Medical Science (2007–2017) focusing on the impact of periodontitis on long-term clinical outcomes in atrial fibrillation patients. Dr. Im’s research and clinical interests include atrial myopathy, epicardial fat, left atrial appendage function, cryoablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, arrhythmogenesis and inflammation in AF, 3D-guided ventricular tachycardia ablation, and ventricular arrhythmias including ventricular premature complexes and their hemodynamic consequences. His work integrates clinical electrophysiology, advanced imaging, and interventional techniques to improve outcomes for patients with complex cardiac arrhythmias.
