The impact of viruses circulating in the country has significantly increased the number of patients with heart failure.

Cardiologist Daniela Teferiçi says that the cases belong not only to chronic heart patients, but there are also many young people who present with a diagnosis of myocarditis.

"There has been a tremendous increase in the number of patients with respiratory failure or shortness of breath. At the hospital we determine the cause whether it is cardiac or pulmonary."

The lung has its part, but what we're seeing at this time is the cardiac side. Most of these patients are known as cardiac patients, but this superimposition of the viral infection greatly worsens the situation, leading to multiorgan failure.

"There are also cases, which are the most fatal, of coming in with a diagnosis of myocarditis. There are also young people, 18–20 years old, whose myocardium or heart muscle has been affected by the virus," explains the doctor.

Recently, heart diseases that result in heart attacks have also been observed in people under the age of 35. For doctors, there are two symptoms that should not be ignored.

"Cardiac diseases, where the main burden of morbidity and mortality is atherosclerotic heart disease, coronary artery disease, which results in heart attack or sudden death.

"It is no longer unusual for people over 35 to come down with pulmonary infarctions. Two main symptoms that should not be neglected are chest pain, which can last for minutes, and shortness of breath," advises the cardiologist.

Doctors are calling for increased care for cardiac patients, for whom the viral situation carries a high risk.

Having a heart problem is no longer uncommon, as data from the World Health Organization shows that approximately 31 percent of deaths in the world occur due to heart disease.
