Kristofer Hedman is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in the assessment of physical functional capacity in major surgical procedures. His research is aimed at improving evaluation techniques for individuals at increased risk of severe complications following surgery, enabling timely preventive measures to be implemented. His work involves advanced exercise physiology and the analysis of respiratory gases through cardiopulmonary exercise testing as well as simpler methods that can streamline the process of clinical decision-making. Hedman is involved in significant projects such as the Blood Pressure Response to Exercise project, which examines the normative blood pressure response in clinical exercise settings and helps identify those at risk for hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. His collaboration extends to the South Eastern Healthcare Region and includes international partners like KU Leuven in Belgium. Another focus of his research addresses the physiological aspects of long-lasting symptoms in COVID-19 patients, working together with his colleague Professor Maria Lerm to align clinical symptoms with underlying physiological and epigenetic changes. Hedman received his medical degree and completed his PhD at Linköping University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University.
