My current research focuses on women’s heart and brain health in cardiovascular autonomic disorders. I primarily conduct research in patients with 1) Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome; a chronic disabling disorder characterized by hemodynamic instability that primarily affects young females (90-95%), and 2) neurogenic orthostatic hypotension; a debilitating condition that affects older adults and people with neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), neuropathies (e.g., diabetes), and neural injuries (e.g., spinal cord injury).
