Mathijs van Schie

Dr. Mathijs van Schie is a researcher in the Department of Cardiology at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands. His work focuses on cardiac electrophysiology, particularly atrial fibrillation, signal processing of electrograms, and surgical ablation techniques. He is actively contributing to both clinical and translational research, collaborating with leading experts such as Prof. N.M.S. de Groot.

His research interests lie at the intersection of cardiology and biomedical signal analysis, with a strong emphasis on understanding the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation. Key areas include atrial potential morphology, sex differences in arrhythmia, epicardial mapping, and the development of novel diagnostic tools based on high-resolution ECG and electrophysiological data.

The most recent publications demonstrate a trend toward integrating advanced signal processing (e.g., singular value decomposition) with clinical electrophysiology to identify abnormal atrial regions. There is also growing interest in molecular markers of electropathology, such as DNA damage, and personalized ablation strategies in congenital heart disease and leadless pacing systems.

Dr. van Schie has contributed to several high-impact review and original research articles in journals including European Heart Journal, JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, and IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.

He has supervised at least one doctoral thesis, indicating involvement in academic mentoring. While no formal grants are listed, his collaborative output suggests participation in multidisciplinary research projects within Erasmus MC’s electrophysiology group.

His work is associated with the cardiac electrophysiology laboratory at Erasmus MC, where advanced mapping and ablation techniques are developed and applied in both acquired and congenital heart disease contexts.
