Mission
The
CVSRL works to understand the characteristics of the endothelial response to
changes in blood flow and how this can be applied to understand and prevent
pathological changes in vascular function.
Research
Goals
- Improving our understanding of how the endothelium responds
to changes in blood flow
- Improving endothelial function
assessment in humans
- Understanding how endothelial
function changes with disease
- Investigating the physiological mechanisms (e.g. stress
hormone responses and autonomic nervous system activity) that link psychosocial
stress to the development of cardiovascular disease
