The Research Session at the NCS Fall Meeting is a key part of the program and serves as an important arena for showcasing new scientific contributions. This year, two of the eight abstracts selected for oral presentation were delivered by ProCardio PhD fellows. In addition to Bendik Skinningsrud Hagen, PhD candidate Lisa Marie Selmer presented her work titled “High-frame-rate echocardiography for assessment of left ventricular stiffness: Shear wave velocities in healthy adults.”
Our ProCardio PhD fellows continue to impress us with their hard work and commitment.
