Scientists are gradually discovering how the coronavirus affects the human body and why it is so deadly. A survey by the Cleveland Clinic found that more than half of those surveyed did not know that Cavid-19 could affect their heart, and about 80 percent did not know that those with high blood pressure were at increased risk for the virus. . According to VOA correspondent Carol Pearson, it is now clear to cardiologists that people with heart problems are at increased risk of serious physical complications if they have Kavid-19, and many are unaware of this. .

Dr Samir Kapadia from the Cleveland Clinic said: “Many people know that Cavid-19 affects the lungs, but it can also affect your heart, especially the heart’s blood circulation, blood clotting, cardiovascular problems. It can be very risky. ” In many cases, without any symptoms, Kavid-19 can damage the heart of a healthy and strong person.

Dr. Allen Anderson, of the University of Texas Health Sciences Center in San Antonio, saidHowever, it can have long-term effects on the health of patients with COVID-19, “said Dr. Anderson. Dr. Allen Anderson added: “They had levels of blood enzyme markers that were compatible with a heart attack, although their coronary arteries were blocked, meaning there was no blockage in the arteries, but there were significant changes in their heart rate.”

Stress also plays a role, said Dr. Kapadia from the Cleveland Clinic. “People who are easily frightened, who get angry very easily, have been shown to be both helpful in the process of blood clotting and can lead to heart attacks,” he said. Some of the types of heart damage that physicians have seen due to Cavid-19 are some that can be cured with the help of treatment but there are some problems where no medicine is working, and the result is death. Researchers at the Center for Health Sciences at the University of Texas at San Antonio are experimenting with antibiotics and a drug for diabetes. They are researching whether these drugs can prevent heart damage in Kavid-19 patients. Antibiotics always fight against bacterial infections. They are not as effective as the Kavid-19 virus.

However, inside the cells of our body there is a small bean-sized part called mitochondria. Scientists believe that since mitochondria evolved from a type of bacterium, antibiotics can protect them from coronaviruses and thus mitochondria are able to protect the heart. Scientists have found that the drug that is being tested for diabetes is also helping mitochondria continue to produce energy.

Researchers hope to begin clinical trials with people who have recovered from a coronavirus attack. The main purpose of this volunteer is to see if the heart system of these volunteers is working properly even after recovering from Covid-19.
