Sudden Death, Misunderstood
“How are we going to save victims of cardiac arrest if we don’t know which ones are really cardiac?” A UCSF cardiologist’s 15-year investigation is upending what we thought we knew about sudden death.

We’re proud to lead a $9 million effort to crack one of #myocarditis’ biggest mysteries: Why immune cells attack the heart. The long-term goal is "turning off the T cells attacking the heart while leaving the rest of the immune system intact," Dr. Josiah Gerdts explains. https://ucsfh.org/4qKxd3o
