Specialising in cardiovascular physiology, Jamie has published a plethora of research papers in world leading academic journals. Jamie’s primary interests lie within the role of exercise training in chronic cardiac conditions and the prevention of sudden cardiac arrest/death in athletes.
Qualifications
- PhD in cardiovascular physiology
- MSc in Applied Exercise and Health Science
- BSc in Sport and Exercise Science
Areas Of Interest
Exercise Physiology, Cardiology, Athletes Heart, Hypertension, Heart Failure, Coronary Artery Disease.
OVERVIEW
Overview Jamie has published more than 20 research papers in global academic journals such as the ‘British Journal of Sports Medicine’, ‘Hypertension’ and ‘Sports Medicine’. Born with a congenital cardiac defect, this includes research on himself as a clinical case study for which he had open-heart surgery in 2022.
With applied clinical skills in echocardiography, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, ECG, haemodynamic monitoring and autonomic function testing, Jamie’s PhD explored the role of isometric exercise training in patients with heart failure preserved ejection fraction. Jamie also has substantial methodological experience in systematic review and meta-analysis research (pairwise and network) and supports research students and other academics through this process.
