Why are more and more heart disease patients dying?

Heart - disease patients are more likely to avoid going to hospitals because of the coronary pandemic, even if they have symptoms of an attack, a recent study shows.

Experts at the US Institute of Providence's Hearts reviewed the data of more than 15,000 patients who suffered a heart attack between 30 December and 16 May this year.

They noted a decrease in the number of hospitals compared to the previous period. They also noted that patients with serious heart problems died in an apparent number more than before, CNN writes.

The study showed there was a significant decrease in the hospital at the beginning of the US pandemic. Those who were hospitalised for heart attacks during a pandemic were usually 1-3 years younger than the average patients before the start of COVID-19.

The authors of the study believe that the reason is a decline in hospital hospitalization rates in older patients, even if they had heart attack symptoms, since it is known that older people are more likely to have more serious symptoms in case of coronary infection.

Researchers also observed that those people who were hospitalised during the pandemic for a heart attack spent less time in the hospital than before the pandemic. The reason for this could be the lack of free hospital beds due to the large number of patients with COVID-19.

No evidence was found in the study that doctors approached patients with heart problems different from that before pandemic. In addition, there was a significant increase in mortality among patients who suffered a greater heart attack ( STEMY, transmbal heart attack.

“compared to the period before the pandemic, patients with a transmbal heart attack had a statistically higher mortality risk in the later period of pandemic,” write experts in the study.
