Marie Stugaard

  • Associate professor; MD, PhD

Marie Stugaard, MD, PhD, currently holds combined positions as Associate professor at University of Oslo, and senior cardiologist at Ringerike Hospital. She graduated as MD from University of Bergen in 1985. She obtained her PhD at Rikshospitalet, University of Oslo, in 1995, under guidance of Professor Smiseth, on studies defining physical principles and physiological underpinnings using color M-mode Doppler in quantifying left ventricular diastolic function. She has long term experience with our animal model. 

Stugaard spent 2 years as postdoc fellow at Cleveland Clinic, funded by grant from American Heart Association. She mainly worked on color M mode and extracting intraventricular pressure gradients, in collaboration with Professors Thomas and Klein.

For family reasons, Stugaard has lived in Japan many years. There, she took opportunity to work at Osaka University with Professor Nakatani, past President of Japanese Society of Echocardiography. She then organized collaborative research program between Norway and Japan.

Since 2019 Stugaard has moved back to Norway to work clinically and continue her research career.
During recent years, she has been expanding her work on cardiac mechanics and flow to include vector flow imaging.
She has several publications in high-ranked cardiology journals.
