Cardiovascular SciencesOur research group has focused its efforts on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases as well as on the search for pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions.
In particular, we have investigated the association between the autonomic nervous system and the immune system in the development and aggravation of cardiovascular diseases. We are interested in the damage of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory reflex as a trigger for structural and functional changes resulting from cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors. In addition, we have studied the cholinergic anti-inflammatory reflex triggered by the vagus nerve as an important source of adaptation to physical training and reduction of pro-inflammatory markers.
