Dr Twan van Stipdonk studied medicine at the Maastricht University. After finishing his general medicine study, he went on to do his training in clinical cardiology. During his clinical training, he worked on the Dutch guideline for cardiac rehabilitation (2011), and later he started his PhD in the field of Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy. Under the guidance of Prof. Frits Prinzen, Prof. Harry Crijns and Prof. Kevin Vernooy, he finished his PhD in 2019. He currently works as a heart failure and devices cardiologist at the Department of Cardiology of Maastricht UMC+. His research focusses on crossing the borders of electrophysiology and heart failure, the field of ‘electrical management of heart failure’.
