Speaking about the problem, Dr T S Kler, Chairman, Fortis Heart & Vascular Institute, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram said, To keep the heart's normal functional post-covid patients after two months should go for a regular heart screening, exercise or yoga for at least half an hour, walking, stick to a healthy diet, stay physically active and take medication as suggested by the doctor.

Kler said coronavirus causes clots in the heart vein which resulting sudden heart attack however, he said it can be deal only with timely treatment. Also due to covid fear people were worried and due to lockdown, they were not able to travel anywhere which causes obesity, stress and depression problems among them.

He further said covid has also led to cardiac injury in people who were free of any heart disease. Thus, there is a large number of people who have suffered from heart problems.

Dr Kler highlighted, "After getting infected with Coronavirus, patients are suffering several heart ailments even after two-three months. After the second wave of the covid, I have observed that every day one or two young age groups of patients are suffering from heart ailments post covid.
