Biography
Dr. Tijskens graduated as cardiologist at the University of Antwerp in 2021 after defending his thesis with the title “Young-onset atrial fibrillation: etiology and clinical outcome of catheter ablation” (promotor. Prof. Sarkozy). He became proficient in interventional electrophysiology doing a clinical fellowship at the ZNA Heart Center in Antwerp. At the same time he achieved a postgraduate “Cardiac Electrophysiology & Pacing” at the University of Brussels. In 2023, Dr. Tijskens started as a stafmember at the AZ Rivierenland hospital while doing interventional electrophysiology procedures at the ZNA Heart Center. In addition to his clinical work Dr. Tijskens published several peer-reviewed articles in international journals and presented at international congresses.
