Dr. Haykowsky is a Professor and Chair in Geriatrics at the University of Alberta. Professor Haykowsky’s research program examines the biological mechanisms responsible for the decline in health-related fitness in individuals at risk for or with heart failure, and role of exercise training to improve cardiovascular and skeletal muscle function. A second research focus is in the cardio-oncology field with a specific focus on the role of exercise training to prevent cardiovascular deconditioning and cardiac toxicity associated with anti-cancer therapy.
