Heart disease refers to a type of disease that primarily impacts the heart or blood vessels. There are several risk factors of these diseases, including high cholesterol, smoking, insufficient exercise, high blood pressure, obesity and a poor diet. Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is a type of infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Covid-19 patients are more likely to develop a wide variety of cardiovascular disorders, such as ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, thromboembolic disease, heart failure, dysrhythmias, pericarditis and cerebrovascular disorders. Inflammation linked to Covid-19 increases the risk of heart attack through the disruption of the blood vessel lining and activation of the body’s clotting system. The patients of Covid-19 may also experience symptoms similar to a heart attack, such as changes on their echocardiogram, chest pain and shortness of breath. This book explores all the important aspects of heart diseases and Covid-19. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in these medical conditions.
