Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic affecting 185 countries and 3000000 patient’s worldwide COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus which invades cells through the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptors among patients with COVID-19 there is a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease.

 

Patients and Methods :The data were collected from patients which had been recovered from covid -19 virus and they have to progress in the disease to have atherosclerosis and some of the patients had a sign and symptoms of COPD. A total of 125 patients were taken for this study were taken for this study including both sex male and female with different age groups all of them admitted to specialized surgical-cardiac center hospital in Erbil City in Iraq. All of them suspected to have atherosclerosis so they will be detected by angiograph in catheterization laboratory in the hospital.

Conclusion: this study demonstrated that COVID-19 virus are also significant risk factors for coronary artery disease and patients who recovered from COVID-19 have had been suffered more from that increasing the severity of disease on them.
