So far, the new crown virus has been out for a year, and it is still spreading. However, everyone's understanding of the new coronavirus remains at the transmission route, symptoms, and trend of the epidemic. Do a few people have a deep understanding of how harmful the sequelae of new coronary pneumonia is?
Over the past year, everyone is full of fear whenever they hear the four words COVID-19. Because the new crown virus is very "cunning",it not only causes symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and cough but also lung damage, which is also the most deadly injury.
Also, the sequelae of new coronary pneumonia are very harmful:
1. Lung injury
As mentioned in previous news reports, after treatment for patients with new coronary pneumonia, the lungs of some patients with more severe conditions will also suffer varying degrees of damage, such as apical fibrosis. This is mainly a trace of excessive repair of the lung apex, and the patient's gas exchange capacity is also impaired. The lung has a very powerful repairability, and most patients can repair it on their own. However, for patients with severe fibrosis, the repair process is also relatively long and may last for several years.
2. Heart damage
According to a case analysis published in JAMA magazine, up to 16.7% of patients with new coronary pneumonia suffer from arrhythmia.
It is necessary to share the knowledge of the heart with everyone. In our human heart, the sinus node is the "commander" of our heart's electrical conduction, and the atrioventricular node is a very important transportation hub. When the two are attacked by the new concept pneumonia virus, it is easy to cause traffic obstacles in the heart pathway, which is what we just said arrhythmia.
3. Brain damage
Studies have shown that about 36.4% of patients recovering from the new coronavirus will have neurological symptoms, such as paralysis of the limbs, decreased vision, and abnormal smell. It can be seen that the damage to the brain by the new coronavirus is also very large.
The new crown virus is not as terrible as we think, but it is not as simple as we believe.
