The corona virus infection has gripped the entire world, and now new concerns are emerging about its long-term effects. In a recently published study, scientists have made a shocking revelation that people who have recovered from corona may have double the risk of heart attack and stroke. This study was conducted by American scientists and was published last week.

A recent study published last week by American scientists  researched 10,000 people who had contracted the infection in the first wave of corona. These people were tracked for three years and it was found that those who had been infected with corona had twice the risk of heart attack, stroke or death, while those whose infection was so severe that they had to be hospitalized, this risk increased by up to four times.

Is this danger only for those who did not take the vaccine?

However, this study is from the time when the corona vaccine was not available. But still, there is serious concern among experts about what the long-term effects of corona will be on the body even after the vaccine. According to Professor Angela Clerk of the University of Reading, 'The heart cannot repair itself, so it is almost impossible to repair the damage once it has occurred.' He also said that the heart is a strong organ, which does not give any signs until its condition becomes very bad.

How can corona affect the heart?

Corona virus can affect the heart in many ways. Experts believe that this virus can affect the process of blood clotting. Apart from this, myocarditis i.e. inflammation of the heart has also been seen in some cases, which can increase the risk of heart attack.

How to take care of your heart?

However, most cases of corona infection are mild and do not cause any long-term problems. But to keep the heart healthy, Professor Clerk has advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle. He said that you have only one heart which should work for your lifetime, so it is very important to take care of it.
