Research Summary
Shave's work examines the acute and chronic effects of exercise and/or environmental stress upon the heart.
Biography
Dr. Shave is known for his work examining the acute and chronic effects of exercise and/or environmental stress upon the heart. Using echocardiography and biomarkers Dr. Shave and his colleagues have provided insight to the beneficial and potentially negative effects of endurance exercise upon the heart, the influence of exercise on cardiac remodeling and the ventricular mechanics that underpin cardiac function in health and disease. Recently, Dr. Shave established the International Primate Heart Project to examine heart disease in great apes and to provide insight into the evolution of the human heart. Dr. Shave’s work will continue to combine comparative and experimental physiology approaches to further understand structural and functional cardiovascular adaptations to exercise in a range of populations with a specific focus on human evolution and the potential of cardiovascular mismatch disease.

Research Interests & Projects
Dr. Shave’s primary interests are in the acute and chronic effects of exercise upon the heart. This work involves studies examining patient populations (e.g. heart failure, spinal cord injury and cancer survivors) and also physiologically “interesting” healthy individuals (e.g. athletes, high altitude natives, pregnant women). Recently, his work has branched into the comparative physiology domain through the International Primate Heart Project (http://primateheartproject.co.uk). This project has been set up to explore the causes of heart disease in great apes and to provide veterinary specialists with appropriate training and an evidence base from which to make clinical decisions. In addition data from this project is being used to explore the role of exercise in the evolution of the human heart. Dr. Shave has successfully supervised over 17 post-graduate students.
Since completing his PhD, Shave has published more than 160 peer-review articles.
