the Disturbing information on the impact of coronavirus shared by German scientists, clear about the definition that the consequences COVID-19 impact not only on the state of the lungs, but can lead to serious heart problems. Three out of four people who recover from coronavirus infection have the same damage as those who suffered a heart attack. And more than half of the victims of the virus showed signs of the disease directly in the heart.
German researchers conducted two studies in which they found worrying signs of heart damage in people who suffered COVID-19, reports the Daily Mail.
According to scientists, the coronavirus can be just as damaging as a heart attack: more than 75% of the survivors of the disease had a high level of protein in the blood, which usually indicates that the man suffered a heart attack.
as for people who died after Contracting coronavirus, more than 60% of the victims had the virus in the heart muscle. Thus, as scientists believe, it can be assumed that the coronavirus directly infects the heart muscle.
According to new research, the coronavirus can permanently affect the cardiovascular system, as well as many other organs, including kidney and brain, but of particular concern to the experts cause damage to the heart.
Scientists from the University hospital of Frankfurt studied indicators of heart health at 100 people, survivors of coronavirus infection. Fifty study participants were healthy before infection COVID-19. Others had risk factors for heart disease. The outcome was very sad: the researchers were able to see the signs of heart damage on an MRI 78 out of 100 survivors. Almost the same number – 76% – had high levels of a protein called troponin, which is comparable to that observed in humans who have suffered a heart attack.
In another study, researchers from the University centre of heart and vessels in Hamburg analyzed heart tissue 39 people who died from infection with the coronavirus. The researchers noted that heart disease was not wide enough to diagnose them with acute myocarditis, however, the majority of patients (24 of 39) had obvious signs that the coronavirus has reached their heart muscle.
sixteen of the victims of the pandemic was high concentration of the virus in their hearts, and scientists have found signs that the coronavirus actively multiply in the tissues until the death of patients. Doctors do not exclude that the lesion of the heart caused death.
a Disturbing trend of heart problems in patients COVID-19 noted American experts. Even young people who have never had high blood pressure and other risk factors, once infected with coronavirus were transferred at heartstupa and strokes.
“These new findings provide important evidence that COVID-19 is associated, at least with some component of damage to the myocardium, possibly as a result of direct viral infection of the heart. We see that the plot thickens, and we tend to Express concern that the cardiomyopathy and heart failure caused by COVID-19, have the potential to develop,” wrote cardiologists at northwestern University and the University of California, Los Angeles Dr. Clyde Yancy and Dr. Gregg of Fonarow in an editorial accompanying publication of the research in the journal JAMA Cardiology.
it is not clear how long that can persist damage or how they can in practice increase the risk of heart attack, stroke or other life-threatening cardiovascular diseases. However, research can help to explain why even previously healthy survivors of the coronavirus have been weak and tired for weeks or even months.
