    • Inflamación y disfunción endotelial en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica 
      Greig, Douglas; Castro, Pablo; Gabrielli, Luigi A.; Miranda, Rodrigo; Verdejo, Hugo; Alcaíno Gálvez, Hernán Alejandro; Bustos, Carlos; Chiong Lay, Mario; Godoy, Iván; Mellado, Rose Marie; García Nannig, Lorena; Salas, Daniela; Vivar Sánchez, Raúl; Vukasovic Ramírez, José Luis; Concepción, Roberto; Díaz Araya, Guillermo (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2008-06)
      Background: In chronic heart failure (CHF), endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a consequence of an imbalance of vascular tone regulating substances. The relationship between ED and inflammation has not been fully investigated. ...
    • Marcadores de inflamación endotelial subclínica en una familia con hiperaldosteronismo familiar tipo I por ... 
      Stehr, Carlos B.; Carvajal, Cristián A.; Lacourt, Patricia; Alcaíno Gálvez, Hernán Alejandro; Mellado, Rose Marie; Cattani, Andreína; Mosso, Lorena; Lavandero González, Sergio; Fardella, Carlos E. (SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2008-09)
      Type I familial hyperaldosteronism is caused by the presence of a chimaeric gene CYP11B1/CYP11B2 which encodes an enzyme with aldosterone synthetase activity regulated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Therefore, ...
    • Serum uric acid correlates with extracellular superoxide dismutase activity in patients with chronic heart failure 
      Alcaíno Gálvez, Hernán Alejandro; Greig, Douglas; Chiong Lay, Mario; Verdejo, Hugo; Miranda, Rodrigo; Concepción, Roberto; Vukasovic Ramírez, José Luis; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Mellado, Rose Marie; García Nannig, Lorena; Salas, Daniela; González, Leticia; Godoy, Iván; Castro, Pablo; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER, 2008-07)
      Increased serum uric acid has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, because of its antioxidant capacity, uric acid may play a beneficial role in endothelial function. This ...
    • Xanthine-oxidase inhibitors and statins in chronic heart failure: Effects on vascular and functional parameters 
      Greig, Douglas; Alcaíno Gálvez, Hernán Alejandro; Castro Gálvez, Pablo; García Nannig, Lorena; Verdejo, Hugo E.; Navarro, Mario; López, Rafael; Mellado, Rose Marie; Tapia Mamani, Fabiola Karina; Gabrielli, Luigi A.; Nogerol, Camilo; Chiong Lay, Mario; Godoy, Iván; Lavandero González, Sergio (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011-04)
      Increased oxidative stress in heart failure (HF) leads to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (ED). Both statins and allopurinol have known anti-oxidant properties, but their utility in HF has not been fully assessed.
