Heart diseases and strokes have killed almost 100,000 more people than expected, since the outbreak of the corona epidemic: according to reports published yesterday (Wednesday) in the British SUN magazine. Cardiologist Prof. Yehuda Adler tries to put his finger on the reasons behind the disturbing statistic: “It is known that the corona virus causes hypercoagulability as well as damage to the endothelial cells – which are the cells that line the blood vessels. Throughout the epidemic, researchers realized that this is one of the problematic consequences of the disease, and unfortunately Now we see that the data in the field speak for themselves – there is a sharp increase in both diseases and heart attacks as well as strokes.”
Another reason, according to him, is related to the fact that during the Corona period, less people left the house and did not make sure to take the relevant tests. “People were afraid of getting infected and less went to clinics and hospitals. Medical capabilities and services were also more limited because resources were diverted to fighting the epidemic. Of course, all of these actually affected the statistical chance of getting cardiovascular diseases.”

“If there are claims that vaccines are related to heart disease, then the corona disease itself is many times more dangerous”
By the way, if you were wondering about the involvement of vaccines in the story, the professor clarifies that their necessity throughout the epidemic was clear, despite their potential consequences: “Vaccines were mainly useful in preventing serious illness and prevented death and serious illness, despite the fact that they too, like any other vaccine or medicine, involve risk certain and mostly rare. Therefore, even if there are claims that they may be related to heart diseases, the corona disease itself is much more dangerous in this context.”
Despite this, Prof. Adler takes some solace in the fact that the corona virus is fading to some extent. “It is certainly encouraging that we see fewer infections and the intensity of the virus has also decreased, but we have to keep our finger on the pulse and frequently ask ourselves if we are ready for the next epidemic. I am no longer sure about that.”
