Heart Disease After Vaccination or Infection?
Cardisiography Gives You Confidence!

Unsettled by media coverage, many people wonder after an infection or vaccination whether their heart may have been affected. Thanks to modern methods of artificial intelligence, this question can now be answered much earlier than ever before. Cardisiography (CSG) detects pathological patterns in the heart earlier and more precisely than comparable diagnostic methods, helping decision-makers to quickly choose the right course of therapy.

 

COVID-19 Can Lead to Heart Disease

Even comparatively mild cases of COVID-19 can leave damage to the hearts of those affected. In a study conducted in Frankfurt, more than 75% of patients showed abnormalities in this area during more detailed examinations. Researchers found it particularly concerning that these cardiac conditions were not dependent on other factors such as pre-existing conditions or a particularly severe course of COVID-19. Most patients reported only mild to moderate symptoms during the illness. The researchers therefore consider further investigation into the long-term consequences of COVID-19 to be necessary.[1]

Chinese researchers also consider it advisable to examine the hearts of recovered patients for possible secondary conditions, especially since there are still no long-term studies in this field.[2]

Therefore, it seems advisable in any case to have even mild symptoms clarified by a cardiological examination. Heart problems are often barely noticeable, and those affected usually consult a doctor far too late.
