From top athletes to heart patients: Everyone knows that high intensity training benefits top athletes -- but NTNU researcher and medical doctor Øyvind Ellingsen has just started on a study of how intensive exercise can help patients with chronic heart failure, too. Read a profile of Ellingsen and a description of his study in the March 31, 2009 issue of Circulation magazine.
NTNU has selected six strategic research areas where interdisciplinary science and industry partnerships make for world-class research and new technologies.
