I am a retired cardiologist who has had Parkinson’s since March 2011. Recently I had a hypotensive episode after about of constipation. I was admitted to the hospital and found to have severe left atrial enlargement and two valves with mild regurgitation. I had received in the past approximately 4 to 5 vaccinations for Covid. I did have Covid at one point, which is just amounted to some nasal congestion for one day.
From a heart perspective, this places me at an increased risk for a stroke, atrial fibrillation as well as multiple other problems.
Cardiac wise, I am asymptomatic, in addition, one of my cardiac muscle enzymes is elevated.
Individuals with Parkinson’s are at an increased risk left atrial enlargement, atrial fibrillation, and other myopathies
I feel that all individuals who received the Covid vaccine and/or have Parkinson’s should have a baseline ECG, cardiac muscle enzymes, and an echocardiogram
