A study warned of the risks of heart disease after infection with the Corona virus and its variants, even if the symptoms were mild. According to what was published in the scientific journal Nature.
In addition, the study, which included tens of thousands of patients, showed a “huge and long-term” increase in the risk of heart and circulatory diseases, including heart attack and stroke, after infection with Corona.
The researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as heart failure and stroke, were significantly higher in people who had recovered from COVID-19 than in similar people who did not have the disease.
Smoking and age!
What’s more, the risk was high even for those under 65 who lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, and it doesn’t matter if you smoke, or You didn’t smoke, the danger was there.”
Researchers agree that health care providers around the world must be prepared to address the increase in cardiovascular disease, but with the number of cases of the virus rising, some fear that health authorities will delay preparing for the effects of the epidemic for too long.
