The effects of carotid chemoreceptor inhibition on exercise tolerance in health and chronic heart failure
DownloadFall 2018
Background and Rationale: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a condition where heart function is insufficient to meet metabolic demand and is caused by anatomical or physiological abnormalities of the heart. In 2009, one in nine deaths included heart failure as a contributing cause, and the five-year...

Understanding the impact of pulmonary vascular structure and function on exercise tolerance and dyspnea in health and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
DownloadSpring 2024
The purpose of this dissertation was to examine pulmonary vascular structure and function and its relationship with exercise capacity in individuals with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesized that pulmonary vascular structure and function play a key role in...
