Division of Cardiology, Oslo University Hospital Aker

Current research focus

Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction - mitigation of reperfusion injury and modes of assessing infarct size.

Biomarkers in cardiology, mainly focusing on the cardiac troponins.

Research projects

Project manager

• Single-point cTnI for prediction of left ventricular dysfunction following STEMI
• Mitigation of reperfusion injury in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI
• Cardiac Troponin T among subjects with type 2 DM
• Measures of ST-segment recovery for prediction of cardiac function and infarct size following STEMI

Collaborator

• What improvements follow from the introduction of high sensitive troponin assays?
