Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Maria Gongora Nieto"
- Maria Gongora Nieto's research focuses on the intersection of cardiovascular health, specifically conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure, with a particular emphasis on gender differences and molecular mechanisms involved in cardiovascular diseases.
- In her 2018 article, she highlights the increased risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation in women, noting that while prevalence is similar for both genders, women experience a higher intrinsic risk leading to more severe outcomes.
- Her earlier studies, including the exploration of P2X purinergic receptors in cardiac myocytes and the role of bone morphogenic protein-4 in inducing hypertension, delve into the cellular and molecular pathways influencing cardiac health and disease, thereby providing insights into potential therapeutic targets.
