What Is the Mumps Virus?
7. Heart Problems
Having a healthy heart is very important for so many reasons. It is not just that we need a healthy heart to keep us alive, but a healthy heart will also help to ensure we get to lead a good quality of life. We don’t usually begin to develop problems with our hearts until we get older, but it can happen in later life as well.
Severe cases of mumps can lead to the heart becoming infected, and this can affect its ability to function properly. This can have an impact on the patient’s overall quality of life, and can also lengthen their lives.
