Terje Steigen

Terje Steigen is a Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and holds the position of Senior Consultant in Invasive Cardiology at UNN (Universitetssjukehus Nord-Norge). His work bridges academic research and clinical practice in cardiovascular medicine, particularly focusing on interventional cardiology and acute cardiac care.

His research emphasizes diagnostic and interventional procedures for cardiovascular conditions, with a strong focus on aortic valve stenosis management, coronary angiography protocols, and transcatheter valve interventions. He has contributed to guideline development for acute myocardial infarction management and evaluates clinical decision-making processes in cardiac referrals.

Publications between 2004-2017 reflect his expertise in procedural techniques (e.g., balloon valvuloplasty), quality assurance in cardiac interventions, and prehospital thrombolytic treatments. His work often addresses bridging therapies and minimally invasive approaches to complex valvular diseases.

Steigen collaborates closely with Norwegian cardiac institutions and contributes to professional development through clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed articles. No specific grants or awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts.
