Introduction

The news article Could COVID-19 set off a wave of heart disease by Euan Ashley illustrates or attempts to find further opinions regarding if the disease is triggering a wave of heart disease. The author developed the idea from a teacher who wanted to quit her profession after the author contracted the disease.

The author states that there are various health issues in recovery from the disease, which appear common. Hence, the author is asking if there is a need to worry about many patients presenting with heart disease related to COVID-19. “So, should we be worried about millions of patients presenting with COVID- related heart disease” (Ashley, 2020)? The article says that there might be a possibility that the disease affects other parts of the body and not the lungs only. This is mostly because most patients recover fully in cases of different diseases, which is uncommon among coronavirus patients. From the article, news or headlines regarding a coming wave of heart disease originating from coronavirus may be misleading or premature, and people should continue being hopeful.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the article tries to argue if there is a connection between coronavirus and heart diseases. The author says that there is no confirmation of such news, and chances might be low, but there is room for further research.
