Camilla Kjellstad Larsen
- Cardiology fellow; MD
Camilla Kjellstad Larsen graduated as a Medical Doctor from University of Oslo in 2008. After her internship she worked 5 years clinically at Innlandet Hospital, Divison Gjøvik, Department of Internal Medicine.
Larsen's PhD work "Contractile Reserve in Dyssynchrony (CRID): Role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging" focused on identifying candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy and the effect of increased afterload on the left ventricle during left bundle branch block. Larsen has presented several abstracts at both national and international conferences, and her PhD thesis consisted of 3 papers which she successfully defended June 2024.
She was supervised by Einar Hopp, MD, PhD and Professor Otto Smiseth, MD, PhD.
