Aspirin works by thinning the blood, reducing the risk of clots that can lead to heart…

Most Strokes Are Preventable
What is a stroke? Your brain needs oxygen to function, and it receives oxygen in the blood. If something like a clot deprives your brain of the oxygen it needs, your brain cells will die, along with the functions they control, such as memory, movement, or speech. This is a stroke. According to the American Stroke Association, stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S., affecting 800,000 people annually. The good news is that up to 80 percent of strokes are preventable. The sooner you receive a diagnosis and begin treatment, the greater a…

19: Higher Risk Requires Extra Precaution
If you have a pre-existing heart disease and become ill with COVID-19, you are at a higher risk for a heart attack or developing congestive heart failure. This is likely due to a combination of the severity of the viral illness and its increased demands on the heart (fever causes rapid heart rate, for example), compounded by low oxygen levels and an increased likelihood for blood clot formation. In addition to the increase in these heart problems, a more unusual condition called myocarditis where the virus infects the heart muscle directly, has also been observed in COVID-19 patients.

How Does

19 Affect Diabetics?
Infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are more serious in people with diabetes, according to the CDC. Why is this? 1) The immune system of diabetics does not function as well, which makes it harder for their bodies to fight the virus; and 2) the coronavirus appears to thrive in an environment of elevated blood glucose levels which makes the healing response to any infection slower. High blood sugar levels combined with a persistent state of inflammation make it much more difficult for people with diabetes to recover from illnesses such as COVID-19.
