Ludvig Balteskard

Ludvig Balteskard is a researcher affiliated with the University of Tromsø, specifically within the Faculty of Health Sciences, focusing on cardiovascular diseases, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and atherosclerosis. His work frequently employs population-based studies like the Tromsø Study to explore bidirectional relationships between arterial and venous vascular pathologies.

Research interests include:

• Interplay between arterial cardiovascular diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) and VTE
• Role of prothrombotic genetic variants in vascular disease risk
• Longitudinal analysis of atherosclerosis progression and thrombosis
• Impact of cardiovascular events on cancer risk

His publications highlight methodological rigor in epidemiology, particularly in time-varying analyses and risk stratification. No specific awards or student advisement details are mentioned.
