Really happy to see this published in EJHF. Joey, Chris and I show that middle-aged adults with severe obesity present with absolute hypervolemia, relative hypovolemia and disproportionate LV enlargement. @utswheart @UTSWMedCenter @texashealth @IEEMPHD https://t.co/HNhkU4C7Un

Really happy to see our paper published in @JHypertension. @Deoliveiragdc and I show that the BP pressure response to exercise is not different between hypertensive adults with LVH and healthy controls when normalized for VO2. https://t.co/C8YHiVMabv

Happy to share our recent paper published in @JPhysiol that shows, for the first time in humans, that Neuropeptide Y mediated vasoconstriction is sensitive to functional sympatholysis, to a similar degree that is alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction. https://t.co/CyzuXYYknv First

Great to see this published in @ExpPhysiol working with Mike Nelson. The paper extends the assessment of central arterial stiffness and wall mechanics (strain and strain rate) from ultrasound to MRI using a cine collected in every cardiac MRI ever taken. https://t.co/7oJxLkx3kO
