Here's how even sweet covid can wreak havoc on your heart, says the doctor
Your heart could unconsciously hurt even if you have never experienced coronavirus symptoms.
TheCoronavirus has the ability to affect various people many different ways. However, we often have supposed that those who have moreserious cases of the virus will face the worst of its effects. But that may not be the case. In fact, a doctor highlights serious complications even as a mild coronavirus case can produce. She says thatEven without any symptoms, Covid can wreak havoc on your heart through myocarditis.
"We have also known for a while sinceSome hearts of COVID-19 patients take a beat-But in recent weeks, the evidence has strengthened that cardiac damage can occur even among people who have never displayed symptoms of coronavirus infection ","Carolyn Barber, MD, a doctor from the Veteran emergency department, wrote forAmerican scientist.
Barber said that Covid Heart Damage is centralized around myocarditis, a disease that causes inflammation of the heart muscle. And this disease usually appears as a result of a virus attacking the heart or asConsequence of inflammation provoked by the immune response of the body.
"This is an incredibly delicate diagnosis. Patients with myocarditis often feel symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, fever and fatigue, while some have no symptoms at all," explains Barber.
And it seems that this myocarditis affects coronavirus patients of all ages, no matterThe severity of their case. A August study ofThe lancet showed the result of an autopsy on an 11-year-old child whowas dead of myocarditis and heart failure. In the autopsy, they found coronavirus particles in his heart fabric. AndOssama Samuel, MD, Head of Cardiology Associate at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York, told the hairdresser that there is a group of young adults in myocarditis' development - some of them even make it an "month after their RECOVERY OF COVID-19 ", BARBER said.
A July study away from Spain, conducted by researchers from the Salamanca University Hospital and not yet considered by peers, observed 139 health workers whohad developed coronavirus and then recovered. But despite their recovery, they found that about 10 weeks after the initial symptoms, about 40% of them were diagnosed with myocarditis or myopiarditis - the combination of myocarditis and pericarditis, which is an inflammation of the bag of Peréardium surrounding the heart.

Another report estimates that 7% of COVID deaths can actuallyto be the result of myocarditis induced by the virus. (Barber notes that some experts believe that this estimate is too high.) Barber says that any cardiac involvement "weeks to months to months" after being diagnosed with the coronavirus is worrying and, unfortunately, research actually more evidence . In fact, a German study published in theJama Cardiology Journal found that 78% of COVID-19 patients recovered - the majority had only light symptoms - demonstratedcardiac involvement more than two months after being diagnosed.
"My personal grip is that Covid will increase the incidence ofheart failure In the coming decades "Elike NagelThe main investigator for the study of Germany, told Barber. And for more coronaviruses in the long term, checkThe 98 symptoms of lasting durable covidants you need to know.
