Can COVID Cause Heart Attack?

BY TEAM FOURTH FRONTIER DESK

COVID-19 can cause inflammation in the body, including inflammation in the blood vessels and heart. This inflammation can increase the risk of a heart attack.

People with certain underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, may be more at risk for heart attacks if they contract COVID-19.

COVID-19 can cause respiratory problems, such as difficulty breathing, which can put extra strain on the heart.

COVID-19 can cause stress and anxiety, which can contribute to the risk of a heart attack.

People who are hospitalised with severe COVID-19 may be at higher risk for heart attacks due to the added stress on the body.

COVID-19 can cause blood clots, which can increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

COVID-19 may cause damage to the heart muscle, which can increase the risk of a heart attack.

People who smoke or use tobacco products may be at increased risk for heart attacks if they contract COVID-19.

It is important for people with heart disease to take precautions to prevent COVID-19 infection, such as wearing a mask, washing hands frequently, and practising physical distancing.

Use a heart rate monitor to keep a tab on the changes in your ECG, indicating oxygen deprivation and heart muscle damage.

Monitor your heart rate, breathing rate, strain, heart rhythms, HRV, continuous ECG and a lot more using Frontier X2.
