Delhi Boy Diagnosed With Rare Heart Failure Post COVID-19 Recovery
In yet another shocking incident, an 18-year-old youth from Delhi diagnosed with a rare and potentially life-threatening heart complication after recovering from the deadly virus infection. Doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital said COVID-19 led to inflammation of cardiac muscles in the boy which gave rise to the rare heart disease.
According to the family, the disease came to light when the boy fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital. According to the reports, the tests have revealed that the boy had a weak, poorly functioning, and enlarged heart post-COVID recovery. “His heart had started to fail with reduced pumping leading to a build-up of fluids in the lungs which kept him out of breath,” the hospital said in a statement issued on Monday. The doctors have confirmed that the boy developed myocarditis after getting infected with the coronavirus.
Valentines is supposed to be the day when we take care of our heart, our love, and ourselves. But this year the number one thing you can do for all those things is to stay home, according to Dr. Satjit Bhusri, a New York cardiologist and founder of Upper East Side Cardiology in Manhattan. He says that he is seeing many patients who were healthy, come in after being exposed to COVID-19 who now have arrhythmias and other heart damage, even many months after first being exposed to the virus. They may have had a very mild case, nearly a year ago, he explains, and now because of complications are suffering new symptoms. The number one thing you can do this Valentine s, he says: Stay home.
