Kristoffer Russell, MD, PhD, FESC. Deputy leader for the research group Integrated Cardiovascular Function at the Institute for Surgical Research. He is also a Senior consultant in invasive cardiology and head of section for interventional cardiology at Oslo University Hospital, Department of Cardiology, Rikshospitalet.

Russell graduated as MD from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 2004 and obtained his PhD at Rikshospitalet, University of Oslo, in 2012, under guidance of Professor Smiseth. He is the co-inventor of the non-invasive myocardial work index, currently licensed by General Electrics. He is a board certified specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. Russell has extensive knowledge in coronary and structural interventional cardiology, as well as in experimental research and clinical studies. The main topics of his research are myocardial function, myocardial work and valvular heart disease.

Russell has numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals of high impact and has a high citation rate.
