PhD University of Alberta 2006 MSc University of Saskatchewan 1999 BSc University of Regina 1995My research interests include understanding how stress can impact upon rehabilitation success for heart patients. For example, the period following a heart attack or diagnosis of heart disease can be stressful for people. This stress might impact upon adherence to exercise or even the success of rehabilitation. Current activities include examining cardiovascular responses to mental stress in heart patients. In the future I will examine how mental stress can influence cardiovascular responses to physical activity.
