A life-saver for patients at risk of heart failure
In 2020, Reverend R.E. Paris was hospitalized with COVID-19. After being discharged he thought he was fully recovered, but something else was wrong. A nuclear stress test revealed residual heart failure, possibly from the virus. Reverend Paris then met with Dr. Sahil Parikh and Dr. Kelly Axsom at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center who enrolled him in their Centralized Heart Failure Management Program.
