Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mary Rude's research investigates mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, particularly focusing on the role of mineralocorticoid receptors and the effects of pharmacological interventions. Her work has examined how aldosterone impacts matrix metalloproteinases and reactive oxygen species in rat ventricular cardiomyocytes and how mineralocorticoid receptor inhibition can ameliorate myocardial failure in mouse models of chronic pressure overload. Rude has also studied the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha in exacerbating left ventricular dilation and fibrosis. Her more recent work includes a retrospective study analyzing COVID-19 mortality in vaccinated versus unvaccinated liver and kidney transplant recipients and research on factors associated with early mortality after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts. She has published on liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma and recurrent hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma after orthotopic liver transplantation. Rude is an Associate Professor in Internal Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
