Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ECG

12-lead electrocardiogram

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

heart rate monitor

24-hour heart rate monitor used to calculate mean heart rate and heart rate variability

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Activity

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS): Resting and exercise HRV and BRS calculated from ECG, Dundee Step test and blood pressure measurements.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Haemodynamic variables

Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV) and systematic vascular resistance (SVR) will be assessed and calculated using a non-invasive, inert gas re-breathing technique whereby expired gases will be sampled and analysed alongside and blood pressure measurements.
