Heather Abraham, M.D., an internist with WSUPG, spoke with Crain’s Detroit Business about a range of post-COVID-19 symptoms that include heart failure, asthma, shortness of breath and neurological issues.
“It is not just patients who were admitted. Some were positive and just stayed home. One patient lost 30 pounds and was sick for a month,” Abraham said. “There is something incredibly inflammatory about COVID. Some cardiologists have recommended full cardiac workups, echocardiograms and some patients may warrant cardiac catheterization” because of heart damage they have suffered.
