Dr. Ranjan Shetty, HOD & Consultant - Interventional Cardiology, Manipal Hospitals Old Airport Road talks about the importance of post-COVID heart care for patients that have recovered from coronavirus. Results of a recent study suggest that patients who have recovered from COVID19 are at a slight risk of developing heart ailments as a side effect of fighting the virus. Dr. Ranjan urges such patients to keep a close eye on any symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, etc and to visit their cardiologist at the earliest as well as to exercise caution by refraining from doing extreme activities for two-three months post-recovery. He further concludes by saying there is no need to panic as such situations can be managed through professional intervention.
