A study published in the US and Europe shows that corona patients who have been in the intensive care units of hospitals are prone to suffer from heart muscle problems even after recovery from the virus.

Corona patients, especially those who have been required to stay in hospital intensive care units, are more likely to suffer from heart muscle problems even after recovering from the virus, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Institute and the European Heart Institute.
The study took samples from 148 patients who recovered from the corona after being in the intensive care unit, with some patients also needing oxygen and respiration support.
The study showed that in 50 percent of the samples the substance troponin was found, at a level about 50 percent above the average level in a person with a healthy heart.
It should be noted that troponin is important for cardiac function and its increase indicates a visible or hidden problem in this activity.
Following this, the researchers performed heart tests on patients with the increase in the substance, and found a long list of heart problems of various types.
"When we examined patients who were in the process of recovery after suffering from the coronavirus severely, with the detection of the increase in troponin, we found a number of findings such as myocardial injury as well as weak myocardial function. "Those who have succeeded in coronary heart disease may, especially after a stay in intensive care, suffer long-term damage to their heart," the study said.
