COVID-19 was initially identified as a respiratory disease, but scientists now know that it also affects several other organs in the body, including the heart. Heart damage is a major determinant of COVID-19 related deaths, and even patients who experience only mild COVID-19 symptoms exhibit signs of cardiac dysfunction after recovery. UCSF researchers Todd McDevitt and Bruce Conklin explore how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, inflicts damage on heart cells.

Health Talks: A Heart-to-Heart About COVID-19

Dr. Gordon Fung looks at trends of cardiovascular disease in the US and trends in selected states by ethnicity to explore if heart disease and stroke are on the rise in Asians. Series: "Mini Medical School for the Public" [Show ID: 35580]

Heart Disease and Stroke on the Rise in Asians?

Kawasaki Disease is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in the developed world, but it is often misdiagnosed. Without proper treatment, 1 in 4 children will develop irreversible and potentially fatal heart damage. In this episode of Health Matters, leading Kawasaki Disease researcher Dr. Jane C. Burns explains the signs parents should be able to recognize. Series: "Health Matters" [Show ID: 35076]

Understanding Kawasaki Disease - Health Matters

Recent developments in medical imaging, especially the modern CT scanner, now make it possible to make extremely accurate pictures of the human heart in less than one heartbeat. This non-invasive, non-expensive imaging method can produce an accurate picture of cardiovascular health. Heart disease kills more people each year than any other disease. We are presented with an interesting problem for medicine: should we all look to see how our own heart is doing? Is it beneficial to us? Can we afford to do this? Elliot McVeigh, PhD, Professor of Bioengineering at UC San Diego, investigates these questions and more. Series: "Exploring Ethics" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 33717]

How is Your Heart Doing? Just Look! - Exploring Ethics

Dr. Gregory Marcus demonstrates how to take one's pulse, or heart rate. Series: "Mini Medical School for the Public" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 34720]

How To Check Your Heart Rate

Your heart can get out of rhythm. Dr. Gregory Marcus explores why the heart may beat too slowly or too fast, or in a disorganized or chaotic manner. Some of these different types of arrhythmias can be dangerous if not properly treated, while others may be annoying but are not life-threatening. Find out how to tell the difference.

Normal Skipped or Irregular Heart Beats: Does My Heart Rate Determine My Fate?

Laurie A. Boyer, PhD, Associate Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at MIT, discusses her work studying cell fate and cardiac regeneration. She shares how her lab is dissecting the gene regulatory mechanisms that control lineage commitment during heart development and congenital heart defects and applying this knowledge toward engineering cardiac tissues.
