She is the author of more than 40 indexed articles and collaborates on research and European research projects. She is an adjunct professor at the School of Science.
summary
Heart failure constitutes a medical need that presents difficulties of care due to its increasing prevalence, poor prognosis and expense partner /healthcare. Moreover, its diagnosis and treatment are far from being personalized and precise as in the case of other diseases such as cancer, which is partly due to the inherent limitations of cardiac research . By means of examples from the research developed in the laboratory of Myocardial Remodeling and Heart Failure of CIMA we will review various approaches of research in the current scientific context. We will also attend to the ethical implications of such a common scenario in this subject research.
