As the years progress and studies on the COVID-19 that affected millions of people worldwide with a pandemic, new and more severe effects that the virus generates on those who at some point were infected with the disease are being revealed.
A new study carried out by a specialized clinic revealed that people with a certain blood type may be more likely to suffer from heart conditions as the months and years progress.
That is why below at adn40 we will let you know all the details about what the study says that relates a heart attack with COVID-19 as well as the recommendations of experts for those people who at some point were infected with this deadly virus.
What heart diseases does COVID-19 cause?
According to an investigation carried out by the Cleveland Clinic, People who were infected or diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past are twice as likely to suffer from severe illnesses such as:
-
heart attack
-
Derrame cerebral
The study highlighted that the risk of suffering from these diseases falls to a greater extent on those people who were hospitalized for COVID-19 which is why it is vitally important to consider routine medical checkups to rule out any type of condition.
Who can have a heart attack after having COVID-19?
As mentioned above, the study carried out by the Cleveland Clinic in the United States, the people who are most prone to these diseases are those who had to be hospitalized due to the severity of the COVID-19 they suffered at the time.
However, that is not all, since the study also indicates that people with some specific blood types can suffer a heart attack due to the genetic variants that certain subjects may have.
The blood types in question are:
-
Blood type A
-
Blood type B
-
AB blood type
In this sense, it is noted that people with blood type O may suffer to a lesser extent from these effects; however, this does not mean that specific cases cannot occur.
It is worth mentioning that among the recommendations to avoid further damage, is to undergo routine general medical checkups, this in order to avoid heart problems in people who at some point were infected by COVID-19.
