Wang Lixiang: Beware of the ten dangerous moments of COVID-19 "heartbreak"

As the COVID-19 epidemic peaks, people have become aware of the extremely high mortality rate of fulminant myocarditis caused by myocardial damage in the acute phase after COVID-19 infection. Now, we are especially alert to the two-week window period of COVID-19 infection, as some young and middle-aged people have myocarditis leading to cardiac arrest and sudden death. In addition to antiviral, immune regulation, and symptomatic supportive treatment, knowing the ten dangerous moments with a high probability of COVID-19 "heartache" and developing an active and healthy lifestyle are important guarantees for protecting the life of the "heart".
