Cardiologists aren't exactly known for their bedside-manner. Also I did present these reputable journals this article alluded to:

> As the COVID-19 pandemic was getting underway in early 2020, doctors in Wuhan, China, began to report that many patients hospitalized with the disease had cardiac injuries. Heart attacks were frequent, especially in patients with underlying risk factors, and there were numerous cases of myocarditis, which occurs when the heart’s muscle layers become inflamed. Roughly a quarter of patients with severe COVID-19 had elevated blood levels of troponin, a protein marker for cardiac damage.

Still was dismissive of covid having any effect on cardiovascular. But you can only learn so much in 60 minutes over 3 months right?
