Today, we constantly listen and follow everything on social networks about this pandemic, which we say is a disease with 100 faces. This is a virus about which we learn something new every day. How it will manifest, we cannot
know in advance. Of course, this depends on the fundamental state of health of the person, and their current state of immunity. It is certain that the elderly are more at risk, but this unfortunate virus attacks, as we see, the younger population as well. It is necessary to point out that people with pre-existing problems with the cardiovascular system are particularly at risk, and we must also point out those with congenital heart defects who have had this problem since birth/taking into account their, often successful, operative solution/.
Studies conducted on samples of patients worldwide have shown that 1/5 of those affected by covid have myocarditis. Inflammation of the heart muscle begins with a viral lung infection or diarrhea, weakness, muscle pain, loss of smell and taste, which after 10- such days are followed by chest pains, often swelling of the legs, and arrhythmias occur in the heart. It is important to point out that patients with pre-existing cardiovascular
diseases have an even greater risk for a more severe clinical picture. In addition to damage to the heart muscle, more serious heart rhythm disorders are also possible.
Therefore, when the tests show, and all the elements in the clinical picture indicate that disease, a complete cardiac examination with all laboratory analyzes/ complete blood count, leukocyte formula, CRP, D-dimer/, EKG, EHO-cardiography and stress test should be performed. .
In this way, any changes in the action, structure and function of the heart can be observed. Also, it is possible to see, possibly, the existence of free fluid around the heart / in the cardiac tissue-pericardium/, which normally happens often. Such an examination is necessary to get acquainted with the current state of the heart.
In situations where the heart is attacked by covid infection, it is necessary without physical efforts, at least 3 months. The virus wears out the heart, as well as other organs, and a period of recovery is needed to restore the body.
