people with heart disease and other medical conditions have a high risk of developing more severe symptoms/complications with COVID-19 (such as pneumonia or blood clotting). On top of that, Some COVID-19 patients experience racing heartbeats, abnormal heart rhythms, congestion, and shortness of breath. On top of that, the pandemic led to many people delaying/avoiding going to the hospital or receiving routine care out of concerns about COVID-19 (whether that be due to the risk of contracting the virus, over-stressing the health care system, or not being able to see a doctor). Due to all these difficulties, worries, and changes of lockdown, it also led to an increase in people drinking more alcohol, limiting their physical activity, or eating a poor diet- which can increase one's chances of developing heart disease.
