Immunologist warned of the dangers of playing sports for COVID-19 patients

Some people develop myocarditis after coronavirus, so they should refrain from serious physical activity for two months due to the risk of cardiac arrest. Immunologist, Candidate of Medical Sciences Nikolai Kryuchkov spoke about this in an interview with URA.RU.

“A significant percentage of people develop myocarditis, and older people develop pericarditis. But myocarditis is associated with inflammation of the heart muscle. The problem is that it is at rest, when there is no heavy load, and it passes. And if there is a load, it can give a sharp breakdown, for example, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, ”the doctor explained.

At the same time, Kryuchkov emphasized that small physical activity will be useful for the recovery of those who have recovered from COVID-19. In particular, we are talking about outdoor walks, light jogging or skiing.

Earlier, Kryuchkov named the categories of Russians who are at risk after recovering from the coronavirus.
