COVID causes long-term cardiac damage, said a study
Coronavirus rads damage on the heart of different ways
At the beginning of the pandemic, the doctors understood that Covid-19 could make major damage on almost all the organs of the body - including the heart. Although most of the distress is temporary, as months have passed, they realized that some people did not completely recover after being infected with the virus. Now, a new study confirms that some survivors suffer long-term cardiac damage in different ways. Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
How does Covid damage the heart?
An exam in three parts published on Monday for the American Cardiology College revealed that Covid damages the blood pumping organ, mainly because of the way the virus disrupts blood clotting and damaging the lungs, reducing their ability to treat fresh oxygen in the blood. And the impact on health would be mortal.
"It is plausible to assume that CVIV-19 survivors will be more vulnerable to long-term heart morbidity," said Sean P. Pinney, MD, leader of the study and professor of medicine, cardiology, at the University of Chicago. "Longitudinal follow-up with multimodal imaging and physiological tests will be important to describe the full measure of CVIV-19 cardiac diseases."
Covid-19 patients with serious infections that have been forced to undergo ventilation are the most exposed to long-term cardiac damage by Pinney and colleagues. This type of cardiac damage is common for people with similar respiratory infections, such as SARS, they wrote. However, in the case of Covid, the damage seems to be worse.
In the second study, they noted that it seemed to have a myocardial injury in about a quarter of coronavirus patients.
"The myocardial injury leads to a detectable increase in serum troponin, varying degrees of ventricular dysfunctions and relatively frequent heart arrhythmias," Pinney said. "If these effects are simply associated with the results of poor patients, including death, or contribute directly to patient mortality is still uncertain."

Obesity increases complications
The third study found that people with obesity risk factors - including excess body fat, uncontrolled blood glucose, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels - are higher at risk of complications related to COVIDATION.
Jeffrey I. Mechanick, MD, leader of the third study and medical teacher and medical director of the cardiovascular health health center in the heart of Mount Sinai, explains that the conclusions support a priority, seeing As if a high percentage of Americans suffer from at least one of these risk factors.
"The role of healthy lifestyles and pharmacotherapy targeting metabolic drivers to reduce cardiovascular risk is well established," he explained. "However, lessons learned from the benefits of the Pandemic Pandemic of Covid-19 of these interventions, similar to the benefits observed on the results of acute cardiovascular disease."
