Taben Hale
Work Summary
The Hale lab investigates the causes and consequences of hypertensive heart disease. Specifically, the lab investigates early drivers of future cardiovascular disease risk that maybe programmed in utero, as well as the long-term consequences of high blood pressure on cardiac structure and function. Ongoing research examines the impact of prenatal stressors on the regulation of cardiovascular function and future disease risk in the adult offspring, as well as the degree to which targeted interventions in adulthood can protect against the development of heart failure.
