Dr. Alex Carll studies the mechanisms by which inhaled toxins impair cardiac conduction and contraction, in both rodents and humans, with particular interest in the autonomic nervous system’s role.
Dr. Alex Carll discussed the art of phenotyping cardiac arrhythmias in rodents during the 2023 Society of Toxicology (SOT) conference in Nashville.
This article summarizes some of the key points that were presented during the event and includes the video recording of the talk.
Dr. Alex Carll is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology and Center for Cardiometabolic Science at the University of Louisville, KY, USA.
He studies the mechanisms by which inhaled toxins impair cardiac conduction and contraction, in both rodents and humans, with particular interest in the autonomic nervous system’s role. He studies the impacts of multiple inhaled agents, including e-cigarette aerosols, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter from many sources (cars, urban atmospheres, and consumer products).
He uses several emka products, including ecgAUTO software to analyze ECG, blood pressure, and left ventricular pressure in rodents.
