The most common cause of death for Russians is cardiovascular disease. It was named by the head Ministry of Health Mikhail Murashko in an interview with the TV channel” Russia-24 “, reports TASS .
According to Murashko, the statistics were affected by the coronavirus pandemic, since the infection affected not only the respiratory system and lung tissue, but also the cardiovascular system. Because of this, various complications arose, including those associated with the formation of blood clots.
In November it was reported that blood clots in the vessels of the heart muscle during coronavirus are formed due to the fact that the infection affects blood clotting. According to cardiologist Sergei Ivanov, this can lead to myocardial infarction, which often occurs in the acute form of the disease.
The medic added that it is best for patients who are treated at home to immediately call an ambulance if the chest pain is not relieved by nitroglycerin. He noted that even after a few months, those who have recovered have weakness and tachycardia.
