Lars-Egil Reine Hammersbøen

  • PhD fellow; MD

Lars-Egil Reine Hammersbøen graduated as a Medical Doctor in 2016 from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. After completing his internship at Akershus University Hospital in 2018, he worked as an internal medicine resident before joining the research group in 2020.

Hammersbøen’s research focuses on the development of novel methods to evaluate cardiac function, particularly through non-invasive pressure-volume analysis based on three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial strain analysis using speckle-tracking. In 2024, he was selected to present at the prestigious Charles T. Dotter Memorial Session at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions in Chicago, where he presented his validation of non-invasive left ventricular efficiency estimation using PV analysis derived from 3D echocardiography and estimated pressure curves. For this work, he received the Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award. In 2023, he was awarded first prize for best abstract at the Annual Norwegian Symposium on Heart Research for the study “Non-invasive pressure-volume analysis by three-dimensional echocardiography: a novel method for left ventricular stroke work and efficiency estimation.” He has been nominated twice for the Young Investigator Award in Basic Sciences at the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging—first in Barcelona (2022) and again at EuroEcho in Berlin (2024). In addition, he has been invited several times to present at meetings like the Annual Meeting on Myocardial Function Imaging in Leuven, Belgium, a specialized forum featuring world-leading experts and emerging research in cardiac mechanics, and the World Congress of Echocardiography and Allied Techniques.

His broader academic interests lie at the intersection of clinical cardiology, cardiovascular imaging, and physiological modeling. Currently, his main focus is a prospective multicenter study aiming to improve echocardiographic estimates of left ventricular filling pressure in heart failure combined with atrial fibrillation (HFcAF).
