I'm really worried about my husband who's 43. He recently got over a mild case of COVID and I'm wondering if he should get his heart checked now that he's recovered. Is that something we should be concerned about or is he okay to skip it?

Unless your husband has experienced symptoms like fatigue, weakness or chest pain, or has a history of heart disease, there is no need to conduct a heart checkup.
