Sport and Health


The COR-HELIX team examine the integrative physiology that underpins the complex cardiovascular responses during exercise, environmental stress (heat stress, hypoxia), and in disease. A particular focus is the improved understanding of the role of heart muscle contraction and relaxation for the peripheral haemodynamics and whole-body and local metabolic demand. We specialise in the measurements of

  • Cardiac ultrasound (twist, strain, cardiac output, diastolic function)
  • Arterial ultrasound (elastic, conduit, and microcirculatory arteries)
  • Haemodynamics (Central and peripheral BP)
  • Metabolic responses (VO2, VCO2, lactate)

Participants of our research studies include healthy controls, athletes, pregnant women, and patients with heart disease (heart failure, LVAD, diabetes, hypertension etc.)
