Angel Herraiz-Adillo

Postdoc

My research mainly focuses on the early in life determinants of cardiovascular health and atherosclerosis in middle age.

Presentation

I am a registered nurse in Primary Care with a postdoc research position at Linkoping University. I have studied how the 鈥淟ife麓s Essential 8鈥�, a novel score created by the American Heart Association, conveys subclinical atherosclerosis within the SCAPIS project (Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study).

In addition, I have studied the early in life determinants of cardiovascular health and atherosclerosis in middle age, particularly: cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, BMI, BMI during pregnancy, cognitive ability and blood pressure.
