Cardiovascular reactivity to stress in early pregnancy
Supervisor: Dr. Blaine Ditto
I’m Shanya, and this year I worked with Dr. Ditto as well as Serena Mennitto and Kristin Horsley on the cardiovascular reactivity to stress in early pregnancy (CARE) study. My project looked at the association between pregnant women's score on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and their cardiovascular response (as measured by heart rate variability) to the Stroop task.
