Specialist of Heart Diseases Dr. Manouchehr Qaruni told Radio Goftogoo that due to the reduction of Oxygen level of the heart, a patient may suffer a heart arrest and succumb to death.
In our latest episode of “Rozaneh” show Heart Specialist and a member of the American Heart Association Dr. Manouchehr Qaruni joined us for a discussion on the relation between The Corona Virus and heart-related issues.
He said that Oxygen is purified by the lungs and the heart pumps it throughout the body. “The heart consumes 5 percent of the energy received by the body. Thus, if the lungs are engaged by coronavirus or any other respiratory disease, the heart will receive a reduced amount of the necessary Oxygen needed for the body.”
He added that in many cases the reduced level of oxygen leads to a heart arrest and death of the patient.
Dr. Qaruni added that the Corona Virus doesn’t harm the heart directly, but the secondary damages disrupt the function of the Cardiovascular system.
He stated that a normal human must have 96 to 98 percent of oxygen in the blood. While the Covid reduces it below 90 percent. “Further drop in the Oxygen level of the blood is considered as fatal.”
He also called genetics a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases saying: “If a healthy child is born in a family with a Diabetic background then he must remain extremely cautious while consuming sugar and sweets.”
Dr. Manuchehr Qaruni pointed out the damages of Smoking to health and said that some people think that if they exercise besides smoking, they’ll cover up for the loss, which is a misconception.
“For a healthy heart, we must reduce the tensions for our citizens and provide them with a desirable environment.”: He added.
He called the readymade and fast food another reason for obesity and heart-related problems while saying that today, a 10-year-old kid is 10 kilograms weightier than a 10-year-old of the 1970s.
