The speed at which the corona infection is spreading has destroyed health services and created a crisis for the economy.
Along with other patients, this virus has a fatal impact on heart patients as well. Many people have died from this disease.
According to M.U Rabbani, chairman of the Department of Heart Disease at JN Medical College and a renowned Cardiologist , the global mortality rate according to coronavirus data is 3.02%, this rate is 2.6% in America and 1.4% in India.
In poor and medium-income countries, the number of corona infected patients without symptoms is 5 to 10 times more due to less testing of coronavirus. 25% of heart attack patients died because of not getting proper treatment on time.
The death rate in a heart attack is 20-25 times higher than corona. Initial 90 minutes are the most important duration for heart attack patients.
Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest heaviness, neck and shoulder pain, and difficulty breathing. Research in the US has also revealed that patients with heart attacks do not go to the hospital due to corona or go late, due to which, they did not get a full treatment.
