Abstract

This study tried to understand the impact that hypertension, coronary heart diseases and diabetes can have on the intensity of coronavirus within the human body. This study was conducted using a systematic review process where secondary data have been collected from 10 previously published research papers. Most of the individuals contracting COVID-19 are also suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. The studies used to carry out this systematic review have exhibited a pattern that indicates a strong correlation. That being said, because of the possibility of extraneous variables, most of the studies at this point have significant drawbacks. Many of such variables for example, smoking behavior or level of fitness have not been considered while selecting sample for most of the studies. Therefore, more highly targeted studies need to be carried out for understanding this disease and the long- and short-term impact it can have.
