Jan Müller

Prof. Dr. Jan Müller is a Professor of Preventive Pediatrics at the TUM School of Medicine and Health (Technische Universität München). His research focuses on congenital heart disease outcomes, exercise physiology in pediatric and adult patients, and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with congenital anomalies. Key areas include functional capacity assessment, arterial stiffness evaluation, and quality of life in congenital heart disease survivors.

His work spans clinical studies on surgical interventions (e.g., arterial switch operation, Fontan palliation) and their long-term impacts. He investigates how physical fitness, lung function, and cardiac adaptations influence morbidity and mortality in congenital heart disease populations. Müller’s studies often involve multi-center collaborations to analyze large patient cohorts.

Research trends emphasize non-invasive diagnostic methods (e.g., cardiac MRI, pulse wave velocity) to predict prognosis and guide clinical management. His articles highlight associations between exercise capacity and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the psychosocial dimensions of chronic cardiac conditions in children and adults.

Notably, his work addresses age-related risks in adult congenital heart disease patients, including hypertension development and arterial stiffness progression. He also explores interventions like pulmonary valve implantation and motor training programs to improve functional outcomes.
