High speed in the arteries of the pulse wave in patients with COVID-19 may indicate a higher risk of fatal outcome. The appropriate conclusion about the connection of the pulse and mortality was made by scientists from Great Britain and Italy, reports the news “Izvestia”.
According to British and Italian researchers, the likelihood of death can be considered elevated if the speed of this wave exceeds 13 meters per second. It is noted that the indicator is normal for young and middle-aged people is 5.5-8 meters per second.
In addition, scientists have found that in coronavirus infected with a pulse wave, an average of 1.89 meters per second higher than that of the others. They also note that those who died from the disease, the speed of the wave was higher by 1.89 meters per second higher than those who survived. At the same time, an increase in the velocity of the pulse wave per meter per second can increase the likelihood of the patient’s death by 14 percent, the researchers explained.
Previously, the doctor of clinical laboratory diagnostics of the LabQuest LabQuest Laboratory Anna Safonova said that recently her practice was observed in patients not only SARS-COV-2, but also other viruses that could cause pneumonia. According to her, these infections should be treated seriously, as they provoke a severe course of the disease. Safonova noted that this year a serious season of ORVI was established. According to her, many paragrippons are detected in laboratories, as well as seasonal coronaviruses, which are found in sufficiently large quantities. The specialist also called the most difficult COVID-19. “It is not necessary for a person” pure “coronavirus. The worst thing that could be is a combination of coronavirus with another type of virus,” explained Medic.
