A 23-year-old who suffered a “massive, rare” heart attack induced by Covid-19 is now on a waiting list for surgery. However, when Constance caught Covid-19, which is known to increase inflammation, blood clotting and respiratory issues, it created a “perfect storm” for a heart attack, she said. All these things together created a perfect storm for her heart attack,” she said. “If she had not had this hole in her heart and she got Covid-19 she would not have had a heart attack, but if she had a hole without Covid-19 she was really unlikely to have a heart attack as well. She has stopped working in order to care for her daughter in the time since she had the heart attack.
