Charlien Gabriels
Cardiologist/sports physician

Who am I?
My name is Charlien Gabriels and I am a cardiologist by training. I have always been very interested in sports, so it was obvious that I would also follow an additional training to become a sports doctor. I am a member of the Association for Sports and Examination Physicians (SKA), and I have a license to perform sports medical examinations. My goal is to ensure that you, as an athlete, can participate in sport with peace of mind.
I am also recognized as a cardiac rehabilitation physician. You can therefore also contact me as a heart patient for supervision of cardiac rehabilitation after heart surgery, myocardial infarction or the placement of stents in the coronary arteries.
Specific areas of interest:
• sports medical screening and exercise testing
• general cardiology
• cardiac rehabilitation
• congenital heart disease
