Challenges Faced :-
One of the key challenges of COVID-19 is that it can affect people in so many different ways, from mild symptoms to severe illness and death. As per Dr Ranjit Jagtap Clinic, some people with COVID-19 may experience only mild or moderate symptoms, while others can develop serious complications that can be life-threatening. Among those who experience severe illness, heart damage is a common finding. A recent study published in JAMA Cardiology found that up to 78% of patients who had recovered from COVID-19 had evidence of heart damage on MRI scans, even if they had not shown any symptoms of heart involvement during their illness.

Symptoms & Outcomes
Another concerning aspect of COVID-19 and heart health, as stated by Dr Ranjit Jagtap is the impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems. Hospitals and medical facilities around the world have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of COVID-19 cases, leading to delays in treatment for other health conditions, including heart disease. Patients who would normally seek medical attention for chest pain or other symptoms may delay or avoid seeking care out of fear of exposure to COVID-19, leading to worse outcomes.
