Coronavirus exacerbates Heart Diseases

There are many patients suffering from heart disease, and cardiologist Mehmet Erjhan Isik says that a infectious disease such as the new coronary (COVID-19) can make heart disease even more deadly.

” COVID-19 affects people with hypertension, lung disease, and heart disease. The disease also results in many cardiovascular complications”, the doctor stressed.

The World Health Organization (OBSH) announced a global action plan to prevent and control non-congenic diseases aimed at combating smoking, unhealthy eating and alcohol consumption. It is known that people with heart disease are more vulnerable to infectious diseases”, he said.

The expert also said that along with the respiratory system, COVID-19 could also affect the digestive and nervous system.

For as long as you fight the virus, our defense systems can also harm healthy body parts. For example, it may increase the risk of a heart attack on people with coronary diseases. It can destroy the flow of blood and cause hypertension. For this reason, heart patients should take extra care of their defense against the” virus, Isık stressed.

For these reasons, he says, temperatures from COVID-19, the loss of fluids caused by the virus, and viral toxins that spoil heart muscles increase the risk of heart attacks.

People with heart disease should take extra care in following instructions against COVIDD-19, such as washing hands, keeping social distance, using masks, and cleaning their environments.
