The effects of coronavirus on the heart aren’t fully known.
Along with all the other unknowns about the coronavirus is whether it has long-term effects on the heart.
Dr. Jeffrey Goldberger, a cardiologist and chief of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, says many COVID-19 survivors even those who experienced mild or no symptoms have ongoing heart inflammation as a result of their infections. Complications may include arrhythmia or heart failure.
“We don’t know for sure how this is going to heal. Everything about this virus is sort of new,” Goldberger says. “In five years, are we going to be seeing people who had COVID and now have some lingering scarring in their heart and are at risk for arrhythmia? It’s possible.”
