Doctor Stephen Foulkes

University of Alberta, Edmonton (Canada)

Member of:

Steve is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Integrated Cardiovascular Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation (iCARE) Lab at the University of Alberta and the Heart, Exercise and Research Trials (HEART) Lab at St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research. Steve’s research is focused on using exercise testing and exercise training to improve cardiovascular outcomes for individuals at risk for heart failure due to cancer treatment. Steve uses advanced exercise testing and imaging methods including cardiopulmonary exercise testing, exercise cardiac MRI and muscle MRI to understand how cardiotoxic cancer treatments such as chemotherapy affect the heart, blood vessels and muscles, and how these effects can be prevented through personalized exercise interventions.
