Many COVID-19 complications may be caused by a cytokine storm - which is when an infection triggers your immune system to flood your bloodstream with an inflammatory protein called cytokines.

These cytokines can kill tissue and damage your organs.

Do you know the impact this has on your heart?

Can COVID 19 increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke?
