While some people are looking at COVID-19 as if it’s in our rear-view mirror, but that’s not the case for patients known as “long haulers.” They deal with symptoms long after being diagnosed and one of the biggest concerns is the potential impact on the heart. Cardiologist Dr. Bernard Ashby, Florida State Lead of the Committee to Protect Healthcare, joined “Start Your Day” with Sharon Reed and Mike Hill to discuss how COVID-19 impacts the heart. Ashby said doctors are still trying to understand the full implications the virus has on the heart, but they are concerned about the inflammation of the heart. He said he’s seen patients who had severe cases of COVID-19 come in later with heart problems.
