COVID-19 may increase the risk of stroke in young adults, as per the global study by the team of Israeli researchers that involved 136 medical centers in 32 countries.
Of the 380 patients who suffered stroke while suffering from COVID-19, nearly 38 per cent were asymptomatic to the coronavirus, and had no recognizable symptoms from the virus such as cough or fever. The diagnosis came only after they were admitted to the hospital for stroke.
The study, published in the journal
'Stroke', led researchers to fear that the virus may increase the risk of stroke, even in people without chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
