New Findings What is the central question of this study? The prevalence of hypertension in
black individuals exceeds that in other racial groups. Despite this well‐known heightened …

Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) have an accentuated exercise pressor reflex
(EPR) during exercise of the affected limb. The underlying hemodynamic changes …

This study aimed to examine the carotid baroreflex (CBR) control of the central and
peripheral hemodynamics after exercise using the neck pressure (NP) and neck suction …

Single-leg cycling (SLC) allows for a greater muscle specific exercise capacity and therefore
provides a greater stimulus for metabolic and vascular adaptations compared to double-leg …

This paper presents the design, development and testing of a novel neck chamber device for
non-invasive stimulation of an individual carotid baroreceptor in a graded manner. The …

The main aim of this thesis is to characterise sympathetic neural activity and autonomic
regulation of BP at high altitude, in Lowlanders during acclimatisation, and in highland …

The exercise pressor reflex reflexively increases sympathetic activity and blood pressure
during exercise and thereby adjust the circulation to meet the metabolic demands of the …

Over 86,000 Canadians live with the consequences of a spinal cord injury (SCI). Injury to
spinal autonomic pathways can lead to profound cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. Key …

Central (aortic) haemodynamics change markedly with age, as aortic stiffness and systolic
pressure augmentation increase thereby elevating aortic blood pressure. Furthermore, the …
