She works within the Division of Clinical Epidemiology at the McGill University Health Centre, focusing on the intersection of exercise physiology and cardiovascular health.
Dr. Lowensteyn's research primarily centers on studying the benefits of exercise for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Her work also evaluates the clinical impact of computerized risk profiles and web-based wellness programs on treatment adherence for cardiovascular risk factors. Additional research interests include evaluating exercise benefits for preventing and treating conditions such as cancer, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
Her publication record shows consistent research activity with recent articles spanning cardiovascular risk assessment, workplace wellness programs, mental health in cardiac rehabilitation, and exercise applications in oncology. Her work demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach that bridges cardiology, epidemiology, occupational health, and mental health.
Dr. Lowensteyn maintains strong collaborative relationships with researchers across multiple institutions, particularly with Dr. Stanislav Grover and Dr. Debbie Da Costa, resulting in publications in reputable journals including the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Patient Education and Counseling, and the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
Her research has practical implications for healthcare delivery, workplace wellness initiatives, and community-based preventive care, with particular relevance to how technology-enhanced interventions can improve cardiovascular health outcomes.
