I studied medicine at the Erasmus University Rotterdam and graduated in 1985. I then worked at the Isala klinieken in Zwolle, and more than 8 years at the VUmc in Amsterdam, where I was promoted to Doctor of Medicine in 2004 with the thesis: “Clinical Applications of 3D Echocardiography”. And more than 10 years in ZH Amstelland, Amstelveen. I had been working for two ZBCs since 2016: the Heart Clinic, and afterwards the Cardiology Foundation Amsterdam, and I have long observed in the ADRZ in Vlissingen and Goes.
A highly experienced all-round cardiologist and clinician with special interest and experience in imaging, heart failure and valve disease. I also have extensive experience in cardiac CT (which I now also do in ADRZ) and MRI, TEEs and stress ultrasounds and cardiac catheterizations. Since 2013 I have assessed many cardiac MRIs and CTs in ZH Amstelland, where I was also head of the heart function and of the heart failure clinic. I am attached to the Amsterdam Heart Failure Consultation. As I said, I was promoted in 2004 on the 3D echocardiography (3D TTE and 3D TEE) in the VUmc.
