While about 80% of those infected with the corona virus or Covid-19 experience mild symptoms, if you have heart disease, diabetes or cancer, the corona virus can be dangerous for you. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), anyone with heart disease, regardless of age, is at serious risk. Therefore, the risk of corona is very serious for heart patients and should be taken into consideration. As the coronavirus progresses, so does research on the connection between the coronavirus and heart disease. Research conducted in China, as the first place of infection, shows that this virus directly damages the heart by killing heart cells in infected patients. Also, studies show that influenza can increase the risk of heart attacks. Scientists believe that the body's physical reaction to the infection causes excessive pressure on the heart, which can be disastrous for patients with a previous history. Also, the coronavirus can limit the ability to deliver oxygen to your heart. This condition causes stress and pressure on your heart. The best solution for patients with heart history is to take care and prevent contracting this virus.
