COVID-19 causes DNAdamage to the heart, affecting the body in a completely different way than the flu does, according to a recent study. MedTwitter
The study looked at the hearts of patients who died from COVID-19, the flu, and other causes. The findings could provide clues about why coronavirus has led to complications such as ongoing heart issues.
Kulasinghe and colleagues analyzed the hearts of seven COVID-19 patients, two flu patients, and six patients who died from other causes. They used transcriptomic profiling, which looks at the DNA landscape of an organ, to investigate heart tissue from the patients. "The indications here are that there's DNA damage here, it's not inflammation," Kulasinghe said."There's something else going on that we need to figure out."
