Mechanisms of Impaired Skeletal Muscle Blood Flow and Exercise Intolerance in Veterans with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: Efficacy of Knee Extensor Training

Research project funded by Veterans Affairs to study impaired skeletal muscle blood flow and exercise intolerance in Veterans with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, evaluating knee extensor training efficacy.

Description

This project aims to elucidate peripheral vascular control mechanisms affecting exercise intolerance in Veterans with HFpEF and evaluate the efficacy of knee extensor training. It is funded by the VA and associated with the NIH grant RX-20-006. The project involves research on neurovascular and exercise physiology, with a focus on improving clinical practice and quality of life for Veterans.
