Muwafi said during his program, “My Lord, Increase Me in Knowledge,” broadcast on Sada Al-Balad channel, that the warning sign he meant is hoarseness, stressing that it is one of the first symptoms that appear in a heart patient.
He added that the cause of hoarseness in heart disease is due to the interruption of the nerve controlling the vocal cord that wraps around the left atrium.
