    • Rojas, Armando; Mercadal, Enrique; Figueroa, Hector; Morales, Miguel A. (2008)
      Despite many advances achieved to date, heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. There is a widely-accepted consensus that HF and diabetes are strongly linked by at least 3 mechanisms: associated ...
    • Lavandero González, Sergio; Troncoso Cotal, Rodrigo; Rotherme, Beverly; Martinet, Wim; Sadoshima, Junichi; Hill, Joseph (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2013)
      Despite recent scientific and technological advances, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Autophagy, an evolutionarily ancient response to cellular stress, has been ...
    • Castro, Pablo; Pérez, Osvaldo; Greig, Douglas; Díaz Araya, Guillermo; Moraga, Francisco; Chiong Lay, Mario; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Padilla, Ivonne; Vukasovic, Jose L.; Corbalán, Ramón; Lavandero González, Sergio (Ediciones Doyma, S.L., 2004)
      Introduction and objective. Carvedilol is an antioxidant and adrenergic antagonist with demonstrated benefits in terms of mortality from heart failure (HF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical parameters, ...

(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
      BACKGROUND: BET (bromodomain and extraterminal) epigenetic reader proteins, in particular BRD4 (bromodomain-containing protein 4), have emerged as potential therapeutic targets in a number of pathological conditions, ...
    • Verdejo, Hugo; Campo, Andrea del; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Gutiérrez, Tomás; Toro, Barbra; Quiroga, Clara; Pedrozo Cibils, Zully; Muñoz, Juan; García Nannig, Lorena; Castro, Pablo; Lavandero González, Sergio (2012)
      The process of muscle remodeling lies at the core of most cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac adaptation to pressure or volume overload is associated with a complex molecular change in cardiomyocytes which leads to anatomic ...
    • Iglewski, Myriam; Hill, Joseph A.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Rothermel, Beverly A. (2010)
      Sustained hypertension promotes structural, functional and metabolic remodeling of cardiomyocyte mitochondria. As long-lived, postmitotic cells, cardiomyocytes turn over mitochondria continuously to compensate for changes ...

      Introduction and objective. Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with oxidative stress. Heart transplantation, an important therapeutic alternative in these patients, could reduce oxidative stress by improving cardiac ...
    • Ocaranza, María Paz; Moya, Jackeline; Jalil, Jorge E.; Lavandero González, Sergio; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Molina, Cristián; Gabrielli, Luigi; Godoy, Iván; Córdova, Samuel; Castro, Pablo; Mac Nab, Paul; Rossel Mariángel, Víctor; García, Lorena; González, Javier; Mancilla, Cristián; Fierro, Camila; Farías, Luis (Wiley, 2020)
      Background: Increased Rho-kinase activity in circulating leucocytes is observed in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, there is little information in HFrEF regarding other Rho-kinase pathway ...
    • Riquelme, Jaime A.; Chávez, Myra N.; Mondaca Ruff, David; Bustamante, Mario; Vicencio, José M.; Quest, Andrew F. G.; Lavandero González, Sergio (Taylor & Francis, 2016)
      Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death. When MI is not lethal, heart failure (HF) is a major consequence with high prevalence and poor prognosis. The targeting of autophagy represents a ...
