February marks another American Heart Month: a time to reflect on our cardiovascular health. This is the 57th year the federally designated event has been commemorated, but this year it holds a stronger weight due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public’s heart health, including potential harmful effects on the heart and vascular system, according to recent research. To add insult to injury, quarantine has dissuaded many people from going to hospitals for potentially harmful heart-related symptoms, creating poorer outcomes. This paired with more people engaging in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as eating poorly, drinking more alcohol, and limiting physical activity, has only contributed to that.
