Researchers tracked more than 100,000 COVID-19 patients for up to a year
A massive analysis of health records has revealed recovered COVID-19 patients are at a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular complications in the year following an acute infection. The new findings, published in Nature Medicine, showed COVID-19 survivors were 55 percent more likely to experience a serious cardiovascular event after recovering.
“We wanted to build upon our past research on COVID’s long-term effects by taking a closer look at what’s happening in people’s hearts,” explained Ziyad Al-Aly, senior author on the new study from Washington University. “What we’re seeing isn’t good. COVID-19 can lead to serious cardiovascular complications and death. The heart does not regenerate or easily mend after heart damage. These are diseases that will affect people for a lifetime.”
The researchers looked at medical records from the US Department of Veteran Affairs, analyzing around 150,000 positive COVID-19 cases. Cardiovascular outcomes in the 12 months after acute disease were compared to two large control groups of more than five million patients.
In a period starting 30 days after initial infection, and up to a year later, COVID patients were 72 percent more likely to experience coronary artery disease compared to those without SARS-CoV-2 infection. They were also 52 percent more likely to have a stroke and 63 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack.

“All I learned is you seem to be a RINO”
Hah good one!
That’s about as likely as me playing quarterback in a Super Bowl!
It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario. We all have had covid or are going to get it. The vaccines don’t prevent it. They may cause additional heart complications, while COVID itself may cause them as well. Keep the ivermectin close by and hope that it mitigates the issues.
We need to separate authority over therapeutics from authority over vaccines. No more vaccine only mindsets.
Glad you’re ok.
Having just had it and nearly died from it, I am now worried. Entire heart related stuff in my lineage.
Just peachy.
I agree. It won’t be pretty!
Why did he need the transfusion?
Seriously, go find a good wellness doctor and have them do the tests to find out where you are deficient in vitamins and minerals. Follow their recommendations on diet and lifestyle. I saw one after the first heart attack and my Cardiologist said the lifestyle/diet changes I made probably saved my life 6 months later when I had to have a second stent put in. Hopefully, you can get out ahead of it and you won't have to go through the whole heart attack thing at all.

Thanks for the advice and counsel.
Liar.
You come on a week old thread and call someone a liar. Are you drinking?
