Simon Knops

Simon Knops is a Researcher in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus MC, actively contributing to cardiovascular and surgical research. His work spans cardiac electrophysiology, atrial fibrillation, surgical outcomes, and clinical trial design.

His research interests focus on atrial fibrillation mechanisms, high-resolution electroanatomical mapping, metabolic interventions in heart failure, and orthopedic surgical trials. He employs both clinical and experimental models, including in-vitro tissue platforms and large-scale clinical data analysis.

The recent articles highlight a strong trend toward translational cardiac electrophysiology, integrating advanced mapping technologies with therapeutic trials. His work bridges surgical innovation and cardiac rhythm management, particularly in identifying conduction abnormalities and testing novel treatments like nicotinamide riboside.
