Post-COVID, cardiovascular symptoms may persist or emerge more than 4 weeks after infection. Identifying people with cardiovascular disease sequelae is an important first step. However, many people have cardiovascular syndromes that are not easily identified on standard cardiac testing. More research is needed to better understand these syndromes. In the meantime, we need to come together as a community to share best practices and maximally support patients so that they can return to their daily lives.

In this interview, Erica Sarah Spatz, MD, FACC and Alison L. Bailey, MD, FACC, with Tiffany Y. Hu, MD, discuss ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway on COVID-19: Post-acute Sequelae.
