Background
Dr Wentzel is a senior lecturer and researcher in Physiology. She focuses on exploring the physiological mechanisms activated during acute and chronic cardiometabolic, hydrodynamic and psychological stress responses within healthy and at-risk populations. Ultimately, she wants to investigate how these mechanisms may differ in, and translate to specific health outcomes (specifically diabetes, stroke and coronary artery disease). She is a member of the American Heart Association (AHA), American Autonomic Society (AAS), South African Heart Association (SAHA) and Physiological Society of South Africa (PSSA).
