Researchers in the Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory aim to understand how the central autonomic ... Evidence suggests that these metabolic disorders raise blood pressure via activation of ...

The changes in cardiovascular physiology must ... of the arterial system. This results in increased afterload on the left ventricle, an increase in systolic blood pressure, and left ventricular ...

The right-hand side of the heart is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The left-hand side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium ...

The objective of Cardiovascular Physiology is to reinforce the concept that the cardiovascular system can be understood in terms fundamental biophysical ... showing the underlying physiological ...

When the heart contracts it pushes blood into blood vessels which creates blood pressure. A blood pressure reading consists of two values: systolic value – blood pressure while the heart is ...

The cardiovascular physiology lab includes a state-of-the-art facility for autonomic function testing and cardiovascular control. This includes 12 lead ECG monitoring, non-invasive beat-to-beat blood ...

The School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience has an international reputation for research excellence in cardiovascular biology,neuroscience, and cell signalling. The school is highly ...

Adverse cardiac remodelling is a key process leading to heart failure. Here, the authors show that expression of foetal gene Pontin (Ruvbl1) is protective against pathological remodelling and ...

Body position can affect the accuracy of vital sign measurements that indicate arterial stiffness—a risk factor for heart ...
