About

Hello. My name is Kayra and my Polygence on COVID-19, climate change and their implications on human cardiovascular system. I chose this project because I always wanted to see the bigger picture about COVID-19 and to conduct a research related with medical fields. I have completed my project and I would like to publish it, share with journals, send it to experts in the field of my project, and lastly I would like to send it to colleges

Abstract or project description

The intersection of post-COVID-19 effects and climate change presents a significant concern for infectious myocarditis and its broader implications for the cardiovascular system. COVID-19 has been linked to a rise in myocarditis cases due to direct viral invasion and the subsequent immune response. Additionally, climate change exacerbates this issue by influencing the patterns of infectious diseases, increasing heat stress, and contributing to environmental factors that compromise cardiovascular health. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events can heighten the spread of vector-borne diseases, which may further contribute to cases of myocarditis. Understanding how these dual factors interplay is crucial for developing strategies to protect cardiovascular health in an increasingly complex and changing global landscape.
