Post-Covid, a number of young patients, under 50, have reported heart problems, a study conducted by the PGIMER Cardiology Department has found. Professor Yash Paul Sharma, Head of the PGI Cardiology Department, talked about the precautions that young people must take and the initial signs.At present, many young people suffer from a heart attack/scratch. How many cases of young people suffering from heart problems coming to PGI?
The prevalence of young patients with heart attacks has increased post-tie. Covid has become a risk factor because even if the person feels that he has recovered, he may not realize that the virus causes several changes in the endothelium that can cause a heart attack and stroke. Endothelium means the inner layer of our arteries. Usually, it does not allow blood to clot but if dysfunction occurs, it allows blood to clot, which causes heart attacks and strokes.
The prevalence of young patients with heart attacks during the Covid era is 11.5 percent of 624 patients. We bring people less than 50 years old. The same population under 50 years studied after heart and its prevalence is 13 percent of only 443 patients. We conducted research during and after Pandemi Covid. Young patients come with all acute coronary syndrome spectrums, namely an increase in myocardial infarction, it is a heart attack that causes 100 percent of arterial aqucuons, then an increase in non-ST myocardial infarction. flowing into the subendocardium and unstable angina cases (US). Unstable angina is also a condition where there is pain in the heart at rest or minimal activity
What is the same reason? Why did that happen?
The most common cause for sudden heart death in young patients is due to acute coronary syndrome (heart attack). Although the main risk factors for heart attacks are the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, lack of physical activity, stress, smoking and family history of heart attacks, but since Pandemi Covid, even Covid’s history has become an important risk factor for coronary coronary arteries for coronary coronary arteries for coronary coronary arteries for coronary, disease. The presence of one of the risk factors above increases the risk of acute coronary syndrome. We may feel that we have recovered from Covid but sometimes the virus causes endothelial dysfunction and which can cause further complications.
The attack case has been reported while doing sports or when doing heavy activities. How to prevent it and why does that happen?Yes, there are cases that have been reported during exercise, severe activity due to all types of exercise or strong activity causes “increased adrenergic activity” that causes rainfall of heart attack by causing a rupture of plaque (cholesterol deposit) in the coronary in the coronary blood vessels. Second, dehydration/hypovolemia also increases the risk of heart attack during severe physical/mental activity. It is recommended that patients do not do the non -physical level of physical activity they use to do before Pandemi Covid and take adequate rest and hydration.
What are the initial signs that youth should not ignore?
Early signs of sudden heart events often including chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, syncope -fainting or loss of sudden and pre -pra -sinkop consciousness which means you feel that you will faint. Conversely, the most common cause of the diagnosis of heart attacks includes ignorance by patients from the above symptoms. Most of the patients’ time considering and made mistakes of these symptoms as a burning of the heart or gastritis that mimic pain due to heart attack due to right arterial occlusion. All patients with new gastritis onset or increased feelings of gastritis must report to their doctor and they must complete the evaluation.
Preventive measures that must be taken to prevent such blows?
Preventive measures that must be taken include blood pressure control, blood sugar, cholesterol and undergoing a healthy physical active lifestyle. Second, if a patient has a history of Covid in the past, they are also part of a newer risk factor for heart disease. If the patient has a risk factor above, they must consult regularly with their doctor and advised to use low dose aspirin along with statins and PPI / H2 receptor blockers as preventive measures. Also, someone should not be too effort. Keep resting every half hour or 40 minutes if someone keeps standing or doing anything
