ABSTRACT:
Recently, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) through studies confirmed that there is no link between the COVID-19 vaccines & heart issues. The larger issue is that there is an established link between COVID-19 disease & heart issues.
The current article deals with the details of the process of COVID-19 & heart problems. The patho-physiology, symptoms pattern, epidemiology of the entire phenomenon is touched upon. To deal with the COVID related heart issues, the article proposes the integration of Homoeopathy of AYUSH. In the article, it details out a suggested treatment protocol based on homoeopathic therapeutics for COVID related heart issues.
Taking into account the risk factors involved in these heart issues, the percentage of individuals who have high blood sugar & high blood pressure levels in India are considered at high risk. The related data from National Family Health Survey 5th round is cited to enumerate the risk involved at the national level.
Finally, the article banks on the useful properties of homoeopathy. These are cost effectiveness, clinical effectiveness & zero side effects. The article also enumerates its role in the mass coverage at the national level.
