Associate Professor Kristofer Hedman

Linkoping University, Linkoping (Sweden)

Kristofer Hedman (MD, PhD) is a fellow in Clinical Physiology at Linkoping University Hospital from Linkoping, Sweden. He holds a a degree in Medicine and Physiotherapy, as well as a PhD in Clinical Physiology from Linkoping University. In 2018-2019, Dr Hedman visited Stanford University as a post-doctoral scholar, at the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute, to study the intersection of diabetes and heart disease, as well as contemporary topics in exercise physiology and sports cardiology. The overall research interest of Dr Hedman is dedicated to cardiac adaptation in health and disease, ranging from "supranormal" athletes, through healthy, normal subjects to different pathological states such as diabetes and valvular heart disease.
