Jose Ramon Gonzalez Juanatey

Jose Ramon Gonzalez Juanatey is a full Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry and the Department of Psychiatry, Radiology, Public Health, Nursing and Medicine. He leads research in the CCM Cellular and Molecular Cardiology Research Unit and collaborates with the PatMol-DR group. His doctoral thesis (1989) focused on hypertensive responses and left ventricular dynamics.

• Educations: PhD in Medicine from USC (1989)

His research emphasizes heart failure pathophysiology, cardio-oncology, and epicardial adipose tissue interactions. Major themes include biomarker discovery (e.g., CA-125, Meteorin-like), drug strategies for cardiovascular protection (polypill, SGLT2i/GLP-1ra combinations), and optimizing heart failure management through telemedicine and rehabilitation programs. He pioneered trials like COLICA (colchicine in acute heart failure) and ONCORE (cardio-oncology exercise protocols).

Key publications address SGLT2i/GLP-1ra synergies, myocardial recovery post-HF hospitalization, and anthracycline cardiotoxicity risk scores. His work bridges clinical care and translational science, with a focus on improving outcomes for heart failure and cancer patients.
