Øyvind Senstad Andersen
- Cardiologist and internist; MD, PhD
Øyvind Senstad Andersen completed his medical degree at the University of Tromsø in 2007 and received his authorization as a doctor in 2009. He has further education in general internal medicine and cardiology/heart diseases.
Dr. Senstad Andersen successfully defended his PhD thesis in February 2021. In his doctoral degree he focused on diastolic function with particular emphasis on left ventricular filling pressure. He visited the laboratories of Professor Young-Won Ha in Seoul, Soth-Korea and Professor Sherif Nagueh in Houston, Texas, US to learn from world leading experts in this field. At Rikshospitalet he collaborated with Einar Gude, Kaspar Broch, and Arne Andreassen at the right heart catheter laboratory to collect invasive measurements of filling pressure simultaneously with echocardiographic images in >100 patients which were first used in a 450 patient multi-center study together with other world leading laboratories . His first paper validated the new echocardiographic guidelines for evaluating filling pressure non-invasively and was published in the highest impact cardiology journal. This patient material has since been utilized in several later studies. Furthermore, in an experimental study, he showed how dyssynchronous heart failure could result in elevated pressure during high heart rates, which may explain reduced tolerance to physical exertion and shortness of breath, common for these patients. He was supervised by Espen Remme, Otto Smiseth and Helge Skulstad.
