This February, in honor of American Heart Month, WellCare of Kentucky is encouraging everyone to live heart healthy by understanding the risk factors and symptoms of heart disease and how COVID-19 can impact heart health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautions that people living with certain heart conditions including heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies and pulmonary hypertension have an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. 1 While the virus is still new and more studies need to be conducted to understand its full impact, a growing number of studies suggest many COVID-19 survivors experience some type of cardiovascular damage and complications, even if they did not have underlying heart disease and were not hospitalized.
