Understanding how the autonomic nervous system affects heart health in chronic kidney disease

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research aims to explore the relationship between the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and cardiovascular complications in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study will involve detailed testing of ANS function and will seek to identify potential interventions to mitigate heart-related issues stemming from ANS dysfunction. Through a combination of training and hands-on research, the principal investigator will gather data that could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with CKD. The research will also focus on understanding the underlying causes of ANS dysfunction in this population.
