The Lancet magazine reported on a new danger after suffering COVID-19

Scientists from Umeå University in Sweden have found that the risk of heart attack and ischemic stroke increases significantly in the first two weeks after covid-19 , according to a scientific article in the journal Lancet.

“In our study, we determined that COVID-19 is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction,” the report says.

In total, more than 86 thousand people took part in the study, which is the largest study in the world on the relationship of CORONAVIRUS with cardiovascular diseases. Scientists compared the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke in patients with COVID-19 with the frequency of cardiovascular disorders in people from the control group (348 thousand people) from February 1 to September 14, 2020.

it turned out that COVID-19 increased the risk of acute myocardial infarction and stroke in the first two weeks after the disease by about three times. This relationship persisted even after controlling for factors such as comorbidities, age, gender, and socioeconomic factors.
