John-Peder Kvitting is an Associate Professor at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Oslo, and a Senior Consultant at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet. He received his M.D. in 2002 and Ph.D. in 2004 from Linköping University, Sweden, focusing on cardiovascular flow and myocardial function. From 2008-2010, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University School of Medicine under Professor D. Craig Miller.

• Education: M.D. (2002), Ph.D. (2004) Linköping University
• Positions: Senior Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon (2010-present), Associate Professor (University of Oslo, 2016-present)

His research focuses on aortic valve repair, valve-sparing aortic root replacement, mitral valve surgery, and pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease. Recent publications highlight work in 4D flow MRI, platelet function during bypass, and aortic arch surgery. He has published extensively on valvular calcification mechanisms and surgical outcomes for complex cardiac conditions.

Key article trends include calcific valve disease (in vitro/ex vivo models, multi-omics), mitral annular dynamics (strain analysis, device evaluation), and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (surgical comparisons, remodeling studies). Collaborative work spans institutions in Sweden, USA, and Norway, with affiliations to the Cardiogenetics and Sudden Cardiac Death research group.
