UC San Diego Health Cardiologist Available to Discuss Potential Link Between COVID-19 Infection and Heart Injuries.

New research found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may affect coronary arteries and trigger an inflammatory response, which can lead to cardiovascular complications for some individuals. Daniels is available to discuss what this may mean for patients.
