American researchers have shown an increased risk of stroke in seniors, in the year following their infection with Covid-19. The doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present Thursday, February 10 on the set of 19/20, sheds light.
An American study suggests that seniors would present an increased risk of stroke one year after their infection with Covid-19. “The study was done in the United States in 2020, that means in non-vaccinated people“, recalls first of all the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present Thursday, February 10 on the set of 19/20. “The overall risk has increased on the cardiovascular level by 63%, and it has even increased for around twenty cardiovascular pathologies“, including strokes, he continues.
“All this may go through a direct attack of the heart by the virus, but also perhaps through an immune attack, or not blood disorders.“, adds Damien Mascret. As for the warning signs, these are “classic cardiac signs, such as palpitations, shortness of breath for efforts for which it did not occur before, or chest pain”.
