Some people have sequelae after suffering from COVID-19 . A British study on the impact on cardiovascular disease after diagnosis pointed out that anyone infected with the new coronavirus has a risk of increased blood clots. These clots spread from the patient's veins to the heart, lungs and other parts of the body, resulting in an increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease.
According to Bloomberg, scientists at Queen Mary University of London conducted research on nearly 54,000 people and published it in the journal "Heart" on Monday. The study found that uninhibited confirmed patients are 2.7 times more likely to have "venous embolism" than those who are not infected, and the risk of death is more than 10 times more. The researchers noted that the increase in risk was the highest in the first 30 days after diagnosis, but could also last longer.
study shows that even patients with mild symptoms will have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease due to the new coronavirus than those who are undiagnosed. Compared with undiagnosed patients, the risk of intravenous embolism is 28 times higher, the probability of heart failure is 22 times higher, the risk of stroke is 18 times higher, and the probability of mortality is even more than 100 times higher. "Our results highlight the increased cardiovascular risk of individuals infected with the disease in the past, and in countries and regions with limited vaccination opportunities, the risk may be higher, because more people are exposed to the virus, and further studies are needed to observe the duration of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease." Another researcher, Leahd, said that the risk of death in unhospitalized COVID-19 patients is astronomical.
Leyard also pointed out that without a strategy to stop the spread of the virus and find a strategy to block the continuous variant of the virus, we will not be able to truly get out of the pandemic. Now we are in urgent need of a strategy to prevent variants and a vaccine to reduce transmission.
