In the inaugural episode of Healthcare Unfiltered, host Chadi Nabhan invites cardiologists Venk Murthy (@venkmurthy), MD, University of Michigan, and Anish Koka (@anish_koka), MD, private practice in Philadelphia, to contextualize the effects of COVID-19 on the heart, as explained in a flawed JAMA Cardiology publication that was close to having such trickle down effects as cancelling college sports across the US.
