Investigators Want to Find out How COVID-19 Is Causing Heart Failure

Science Cover—In addition to causing respiratory disease, COVID-19 can also affect the cardiovascular system, and indeed heart failure may be the cause of many COVID-19 deaths. At Gladstone, Senior Investigators Bruce Conklin and Todd McDevitt are using stem cell–derived heart cells and microtissues to investigate how COVID-19 affects heart cardiac function, and to identify new therapeutic targets.
