Research InterestsProfessor Rose Anne Kenny's research interests are in neurocardiovascular function in ageing. The overarching aims of the research programmes are to unpick the mechanisms for cardiovascular and cerebral dysfunction in the context of falls, blackouts, cognitive impairment and dementia. The research involves collaborative partnership with disciplines from basic science (developing animal modules of cardiovascular and cerebral dysfunction) through to health service development and implementation. she has conducted longitudinal cohort studies of vascular factors in cognitive impairment (post stroke cohort, NCVI in the community, and carotid sinus hypersensitivity cohort).Professor Rose Anne Kenny's research interests are in neurocardiovascular function in ageing.
