London - Sana
A recent British study revealed that more than half of the patients who had Covid 19 disease and were seriously ill were diagnosed with significant heart damage after their discharge from the hospital.
According to the study published by the European newspaper, European Heart, researchers explained that many patients who were infected with the Coronavirus and as a result of the immune system's work at this stage to develop antibodies to the infection appear to have high levels of troponin, a group of proteins that help regulate heart muscle contractions.
Doctors from Britain and the United States examined 148 people in intensive care units in 6 hospitals who were undergoing treatment for Covid 19 disease, and it was found that they had high levels of troponin, and that about a month after they left the hospitals, using magnetic resonance imaging, they discovered major damage to the heart, such as myositis Tissue death, insufficient blood supply, or a combination of the three.
