With over 200 peer-reviewed publications and more than 16,000 citations, Dr Kiat ranks among the top 1% of the clinical researchers globally*. His body of work spans molecular imaging and nuclear cardiology, preventive cardiology, and evidence-based integrative medicine.

  • Three of his landmark studies on heart muscle blood flow and function reshaped how doctors worldwide detect and manage heart disease. Each ranks in the top 0.02% of all scientific papers and has been referenced by over 1,000 others globally**.

  • More than 40 other publications have each surpassed 100 citations, placing them in the top 1.8% globally**.

 

These citations reflect more than academic reach, they represent a global contribution to cardiovascular innovation, aging science, and real-world patient outcomes.

Dr Hosen Kiat champions a powerful belief: the future of healthcare lies in uniting the precision of modern science with the enduring wisdom of traditional healing.

Today, Dr Kiat’s research focuses on cutting-edge advances in cardiovascular and anti-aging science from imaging unstable plaques before heart attacks, to nutrition that supports cellular repair, and light therapy that restores mitochondrial function.
