Dr. S.R.D. Piers

Dr. S.R.D. (Sebastiaan) Piers is cardioloog en sinds 2021 Europees geregistreerd specialist in hartritmestoornissen, katheterablaties en pacemakers/ICD’s.

In 2016 verdedigde hij zijn proefschrift met de titel ‘Understanding Ventricular Tachycardia: Towards Individualized Substrate-based Therapy’.

Als specialist in ritmestoornissen die soms levensbedreigend kunnen zijn vind hij het belangrijk dat zijn patiënten gehoord worden en zich tijdens complexe ingrepen veilig voelen.
