Heart disease after vaccination or infection?
Cardisiography can give you security!

Unnerved by the reporting, many people ask themselves after an infection or vaccination whether their heart has been affected. With 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 examination methods and thus helps decision-makers to quickly choose the right treatment path.

 

Covid-19 can lead to heart disease

Even comparatively mild cases of COVID-19 can cause damage to the hearts of those affected. More than 75% of the patients in a study in Frankfurt showed abnormalities in this area upon closer examination. The researchers found it particularly worrying that these heart diseases did not depend on other factors, such as existing previous illnesses or a particularly severe course of COVID-19. Most patients reported only mild to moderate symptoms from the disease. They see it as necessary for further research into the long-term consequences of COVID-19.[1]

Chinese researchers also believe it makes sense to examine the hearts of recovered patients for possible secondary diseases. Especially since there are no long-term studies in this area yet.[2]

It therefore seems advisable in any case to have even mild symptoms clarified during a cardiological examination. Heart problems are often barely noticeable and those affected usually go to the doctor much too late.
