Women’s Heart Health Research

At the Institute for Exercise & Environmental Medicine, the Women’s Heart Health Research laboratory strives to make lasting relationships with women - before they become pregnant, during their pregnancy, as well as later life. Our goal is to understand how health changes over the course of time within the female population, and more specifically, how blood pressure is regulated differently than in men. Our research studies aim to understand how the brain controls blood pressure during pregnancy, as well as the effectiveness of therapeutic drugs for high blood pressure.

We are strongly invested in research to fight preeclampisa and other pregnancy related hypertensive disorders. Our main research study is solely to understand how the brain controls blood pressure throughout the pregnancy so that we can develop a clinically objective procedure that can predict hypertensive disorder before any clinical signs or symptoms appear. With hypertensive pregnancy disorders affecting 10% of all pregnant women in the United States, which can lead to the death of mom and baby, conducting this research is extremely important.

As mentioned, we also conduct research studies throughout the entire life span of a women.

As we age, the lining of our blood vessel properties change, which can lead to a change in how are blood pressure is regulated. One of our main purposes is to understand the mechanisms behind these changes.
