Uncovering the Hidden Threat: COVID-19's Impact on the Heart

Research suggests that SARS-CoV-2 can cause heart damage by triggering an inflammatory response in heart tissue, even without directly infecting it. The study found that the virus-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can lead to an increase in inflammatory macrophages in the heart, resulting in heart damage. Targeting the pro-inflammatory heart macrophages may help alleviate the cardiovascular complications of SARS-CoV-2 and other severe infections.

Intermountain Health's Innovative Approach to Enhancing Critical Care Outcomes

Intermountain Health has been selected as one of six core health care systems to lead a national effort to improve treatment for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, and sepsis. These conditions, which collectively kill hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. each year, have been treated similarly despite their differences. The federally funded initiative will gather information from 5,000 patients to better understand the subtypes of these syndromes and develop more targeted treatments. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning will be utilized to identify patterns and improve patient outcomes.
