Role of Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) in Hypertension and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
DownloadFall 2018
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and renal failure, and therefore is an enormous healthcare burden worldwide. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of blood pressure homeostasis, and...

The effect of aerobic fitness on the cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system response to physiological stress at rest and during dynamic exercise
DownloadFall 2012
A cardio-protective adaptation associated with aerobic fitness may be an attenuated sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and cardiovascular response to stress. The hypothesis that the cardiovascular and SNS responses to physiological stress at rest and during exercise would be a function of...

The pulmonary vasculature during exercise in health and mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadFall 2017
The purpose of this dissertation was to characterize the response of the pulmonary vasculature to exercise in health (including a pharmacological intervention) and in individuals with mild chronic obstructive lung disease. The first project studied the effect of a dopamine receptor blockade on...
