COLTON >> Dr. Sasikanth Adigopula wants to get the word out that methamphetamine poisons the heart muscle -- making it a weak pump with the effect of robbing a patient's energy -- in some cases leaving a patient so short of breath they can't work.
Starting in July 2015, as a cardiologist and assistant professor at Loma Linda University Medical School, Adigopula was assigned to direct the heart failure program at Arrowhead Regional Medical Center.
