Cortical and autonomic modulation of attentional control /
… work has been done on the role of the ACC in autonomic regulation. Its connections through the vagus nerve to the sinoatrial node of the heart are thought to exert modulatory control over cardiovascular arousal. Therefore, ACC is not only responsible for the implementation of cognitive …

Vascular and Neuro-Inflammatory Modulation Following Resistance Training in Young African American and White Men
… associated co-morbidities. Altered vascular and autonomic function has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in this population. We sought to examine the effect of resistance exercise training on vascular and autonomic function in young African American and white men. …

Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
… with better ablation outcomes, possibly due to autonomic modulation. The benefits of hybrid ablation come at a cost of complications, however. Newer catheter ablation technologies such as electroporation may reduce risks and experiments on porcine models described in this thesis demonstrate how …

Maternal Cardiac Autonomic Function and Fetal Behaviour in Hypertensive and Obese Pregnancies
Hypertension in pregnancy is associated with autonomic dysregulation whereas the effects of obesity in pregnancy on maternal cardiac autonomic function are poorly understood. Furthermore, hypertension in pregnancy is associated with placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction, whereas …

Phenotyping Behavioral Disorders in REM Sleep: Study of Digital Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration
… early-stage biomarkers and understanding autonomic dysfunction in RBD. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and QT Variability (QTV), studied across different sleep stages, were investigated as potential digital biomarkers of neurodegeneration. Apart from traditional HRV analysis, this thesis also …

The effects of an acute bout of traditional versus circuit resistance exercise on arterial stiffness and blood pressure
Arterial stiffness increases cardiovascular disease risk for stroke, myocardial infarction, and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of resistance exercise intensity on arterial stiffness and blood pressure. Two resistance exercise conditions, low intensity (CREP; 40%1RM) …
