Dr. John Floras' 2021 Carl Ludwig Lecture review "Unsympathetic autonomic regulation in heart failure: patient-inspired insights" is now available. Check it out! journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Catherine F. Notarius and John S. Floras (@FlorasLab ) have written a #LettertotheEditor, discussing the influence of age on muscle sympathetic response to dynamic exercise! 📜buff.ly/3YiXlnc

Do patients with treated #HFrEF have altered transduction of MSNA into blood pressure? Find out more about our new work in collaboration with the @FlorasLab and @Millar_Lab here! 👇 ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Great study looking at influence of sex and age on relationship between VO2peak and MSNA in n=224 journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115… Nice work @markbadrov @DanielKeir1 @Millar_Lab @LbhhNvrl @FlorasLab and team

📄Does exercise training still augment the heart rate variability of contemporary treated heart failure patients? Notarius et al. ✅ HRV of HFrEF patients is not improved by 6 months of individualized moderate-intensity continuous training Read here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congratulations to Doug Bradley and John Floras of @UHN @UofT @FlorasLab for presenting their ADVENT-HF atrial at #ESCCongress!

“I could not have done my first published paper without that kind of support,” - Dr. Susanna Mak. Publishing is a key marker of research success and the salary support allowed her the time to make it possible. H&S donors helped Dr. Mak get her start; now she’s paying it forward.

Keir et al find that unlike healthy individuals, in the majority of heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction, 1-leg cycling increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity. buff.ly/3DlWzM3 #APNMjournal #cycling #HeartFailure

Great work by @WesternU assistant professor and @FlorasLab affiliate scientist Dr. @DanielKeir1 titled 'Heart failure-specific inverse relationship between the muscle sympathetic response to dynamic leg exercise and V̇O2peak' available in @APNMJournal. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@PPPublishing We are excited to see Dr. Catherine Notarius' review, titled 'Sympathetic neural responses in heart failure during exercise and after exercise training', highlighted as an #EditorialPick! Dr. Notarius' review can be found here: ow.ly/CPmM50DKLu4

Read our #EditorialPick from Clinical Science on 'Sympathetic neural responses in heart failure during exercise and after exercise training' #VascularBiology #neuroscience #ClinSci Available here: ow.ly/CPmM50DKLu4

Check out our postdoctoral fellow @MarkBadrov ‘heart’ at work discovering the effects of heart failure on the sympathetic nervous system @FlorasLab! *Adherence to all COVID-19 precautions and PPE strictly enforced for participant and research personnel safety*
