Cardiovascular function is a research area that focuses on the function of the heart and blood vessels in the human body. Researchers in this field study the mechanisms that regulate blood flow, heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure, as well as how these factors are affected by various diseases and conditions. Understanding cardiovascular function is crucial for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, heart failure, and stroke. Researchers in this field use a variety of techniques, including imaging, biochemical assays, and physiological measurements, to study the structure and function of the cardiovascular system.
