LOS ANGELES - As medical experts learn about the novel coronavirus, which continues to exhibit an array of ever-evolving symptoms and log-term effects, researchers have found that the deadly illness can have deleterious impacts on the heart and brain.
A recent study published on June 25 in the journal Cell Reports Medicine, found that while COVID-19 is commonly known as a respiratory illness, the disease has also been known to instigate inflammatory responses in the body which can negatively affect the function of one’s heart and brain.According to the study, researchers observed SARS-CoV-2 infecting human heart cells that were grown from stem cells in a lab.
