Study Examines Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Reactivity During Cold Pressor Testing

Dr. Joseph Watso co-authored a study published in the American Journal of Physiology – Heart and Circulatory Physiology. The research evaluates how the brain and cardiovascular system respond to the cold pressor test and examines whether these physiological responses remain consistent across multiple visits. The findings offer key insights into the reliability of this widely used assessment for vascular health and stress reactivity.
