For those with a cardiac condition, there are even more potential risks. According to early reports, 40 percent of patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 had cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease, a condition affecting blood flow to the brain. And in February, the American College of Cardiology encouraged patients to take \u201cadditional, reasonable precautions\u201d for their safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients that get COVID-19 that have had prior cardiac illness are at a significant risk of complication,\u201d says Phillip Koren, MD, FACC, FSCAI, associate chief medical officer at Cooper University Health Care, and clinical and interventional cardiologist with Cardiac Partners of Cooper and Inspira. \u201cPatients with weakened hearts and older patients are most vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 can affect heart patients in a variety of ways. Here\u2019s what you should know about how it might affect you and what steps you can take to prevent getting sick.<\/p>\n<h3>Risks to Heart Patients<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The virus directly affects the lungs, which means your heart may be under more stress than usual if you get sick,&#8221; says Dr. Koren. For those with heart disease, your heart already has to work harder to get oxygenated blood circulating through the body. With decreased lung function, this can put even more strain on the body and increase the chances for heart failure when it already struggles with pumping blood efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Getting sick can cause extra strain on the immune system that can lead to complications and an increased chance of hospitalization.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, those who have plaque present in their arteries might be at special risk. Studies of similar viral illnesses have shown that getting sick can destabilize plaque, causing artery blockage and an increased risk of a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Although research is still being conducted on COVID-19, we can see that other coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, have been linked to heart complications including heart attack in patients with pre-existing heart disease due to stress, low oxygen levels and severe inflammation in many organ systems.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Protect Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>As a heart patient, it\u2019s better to be cautious to protect yourself from getting sick.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to protect yourself from getting COVID-19 is to take the same precautions you would during flu season. The virus appears to spread through droplets in the air when someone coughs or sneezes, much like the flu. Follow CDC guidelines including physical distancing, frequently wash your hands, keep surfaces around you clean, cover your coughs and sneezes, wear a facemask, and avoid traveling to crowded areas. If you get sick, stay home, even if you don\u2019t think it\u2019s COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a heart condition, you should make sure that you\u2019re up to date with vaccinations, including for pneumonia. Cardiologists strongly recommend getting a yearly flu shot for all patients with chronic cardiovascular conditions to protect yourself from another source of fever that could be confused for COVID-19. \u00a0If you notice that you have symptoms for COVID-19 and suspect you may have it, contact your doctor right away.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardiac Partners team of specialists are here to help you keep your heart healthy through this crisis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiacpartners.org\/request-an-appointment\/\">Click here<\/a> to request an appointment with one of our providers.<\/p>\n<h3>Caring for the Hearts of South Jersey<\/h3>\n<p>Cardiac Partners at Cooper and Inspira provides patients in South Jersey with access to coordinated and comprehensive cardiac services across the continuum of care. The combination of the two systems\u2019 heart services makes Cardiac Partners the largest cardiac program in South Jersey, with a network of more than 65 clinicians. This innovative delivery care model provides patients with better access to more efficient, high-quality cardiac care in more locations throughout southern New Jersey.<br \/>\n<a><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\u00bfQu\u00e9 deben saber los pacientes card\u00edacos sobre COVID-19?<\/h2>\n<p>Por ahora, est\u00e1 claro que COVID-19 representa un riesgo peligroso para muchas personas con afecciones preexistentes. Para aquellos con una afecci\u00f3n card\u00edaca, existen a\u00fan m\u00e1s riesgos potenciales. Seg\u00fan los primeros informes, el 40 por ciento de los pacientes hospitalizados debido a COVID-19 ten\u00edan enfermedad cardiovascular o enfermedad cerebrovascular, una afecci\u00f3n que afecta el flujo sangu\u00edneo al cerebro. Y en febrero, el Colegio Americano de Cardiolog\u00eda alent\u00f3 a los pacientes a tomar &#8220;precauciones razonables adicionales&#8221; para su seguridad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Los pacientes que le da COVID-19 que han tenido una enfermedad card\u00edaca previa tienen un riesgo significativo de complicaciones&#8221;, dice Phillip Koren, MD, FACC, FSCAI, director m\u00e9dico asociado de Cooper University Health Care y cardi\u00f3logo cl\u00ednico e intervencionista con Cardiac Partners. de Cooper e Inspira. &#8220;Los pacientes con corazones debilitados y pacientes mayores son los m\u00e1s vulnerables&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 puede afectar a pacientes card\u00edacos de varias maneras. Esto es lo que debe saber sobre c\u00f3mo podr\u00eda afectarlo y qu\u00e9 pasos puede tomar para evitar enfermarse.<\/p>\n<h3>Riesgos para los Pacientes Card\u00edacos<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;El virus afecta directamente a los pulmones, lo que significa que su coraz\u00f3n puede estar m\u00e1s estresado de lo normal si se enferma&#8221;, dice el Dr. Koren. Para las personas con enfermedad card\u00edaca, su coraz\u00f3n ya tiene que trabajar m\u00e1s para que la sangre oxigenada circule por el cuerpo. Con la disminuci\u00f3n de la funci\u00f3n pulmonar, esto puede ejercer a\u00fan m\u00e1s presi\u00f3n sobre el cuerpo y aumentar las posibilidades de insuficiencia card\u00edaca cuando ya tiene dificultades para bombear sangre de manera eficiente.<\/p>\n<p>Enfermarse puede causar tensi\u00f3n adicional en el sistema inmune que puede provocar complicaciones y una mayor probabilidad de hospitalizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, aquellos que tienen placa presente en sus arterias pueden estar en riesgo especial. Los estudios de enfermedades virales similares han demostrado que enfermarse puede desestabilizar la placa, causar bloqueo de las arterias y un mayor riesgo de ataque card\u00edaco.<\/p>\n<p>Aunque todav\u00eda se est\u00e1n realizando investigaciones sobre COVID-19, podemos ver que otros coronavirus, como el SARS y el MERS, se han relacionado con complicaciones card\u00edacas, incluido un ataque card\u00edaco en pacientes con enfermedades card\u00edacas preexistentes debido al estr\u00e9s, bajos niveles de ox\u00edgeno y graves inflamaci\u00f3n en muchos sistemas de \u00f3rganos.<\/p>\n<h3>C\u00f3mo Protegerte<\/h3>\n<p>Como paciente card\u00edaco, es mejor ser cauteloso para evitar enfermarse.<\/p>\n<p>La mejor manera de protegerse contra el COVID-19 es tomar las mismas precauciones que tomar\u00eda durante la temporada de gripe. El virus parece propagarse a trav\u00e9s de gotitas en el aire cuando alguien tose o estornuda, al igual que la gripe. Siga las pautas de los CDC, incluido el distanciamiento f\u00edsico, l\u00e1vese las manos con frecuencia, mantenga limpias las superficies a su alrededor, cubra la tos y los estornudos, <span class=\"tlid-translation translation\" lang=\"es\"><span class=\"\" title=\"\">usar una mascarilla,<\/span><\/span> y evite viajar a zonas abarrotadas. Si se enferma, qu\u00e9dese en casa, incluso si no cree que sea COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Si tiene una afecci\u00f3n card\u00edaca, debe asegurarse de estar al d\u00eda con las vacunas, incluida la neumon\u00eda. Los cardi\u00f3logos recomiendan encarecidamente recibir una vacuna anual contra la gripe para todos los pacientes con enfermedades cardiovasculares cr\u00f3nicas para protegerse de otra fuente de fiebre que podr\u00eda confundirse con COVID-19. Si nota que tiene s\u00edntomas de COVID-19 y sospecha que puede tenerlo, comun\u00edquese con su m\u00e9dico de inmediato.<\/p>\n<p>El equipo de especialistas de Cardiac Partners est\u00e1 aqu\u00ed para ayudarlo a mantener su coraz\u00f3n saludable durante esta crisis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardiacpartners.org\/request-an-appointment\/\">Haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a> para solicitar una cita con uno de nuestros proveedores.<\/p>\n<h3>Cuidando los Corazones del Sur de Jersey<\/h3>\n<p>Cardiac Partners en Cooper e Inspira brinda a los pacientes del sur de Jersey acceso a servicios card\u00edacos coordinados e integrales en todo el proceso de atenci\u00f3n.
