COVID-19 takes serious toll on heart health—a full year after recovery
Science.org ^ | 2.9.2022 | Meredith Wadman

The results are “stunning ....” says Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Research … "If anybody ever thought that COVID was like the flu this should be one of the most powerful data sets to point out it’s not.” He adds that the new study “may be the most impressive Long Covid paper we have seen to date.”

...

“This is clearly evidence of long-term heart and vascular damage. Similar things could be happening in the brain and other organs resulting in symptoms characteristic of Long Covid, including brain fog,” says senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis.

...

The researchers drew on the largest set of electronic health records in the United States, at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). They analyzed data from nearly 154,000 people who contracted COVID-19 between March 2020 and January 2021, and who survived at least 30 days after becoming infected. They also identified two control groups: 5.6 million people who sought VA care during the pandemic but were not diagnosed with COVID-19, and 5.9 million people who sought VA care in 2017.

One limitation of the study is that the veteran population skews older, white, and male: In all three groups, about 90% of patients were men and 71% to 76% were white. Patients were in their early 60s, on average.

The researchers controlled for the possibility that the people who contracted COVID-19 were already more prone to developing cardiovascular disease. They found that “COVID is an equal opportunity offender,” Al-Aly says. “We found an increased risk of cardiovascular problems in old people and in young people, in people with diabetes and without diabetes, in people with obesity and people without obesity, in people who smoked and who never smoked.”

I think it’s both. The only difference between the first part of the bio-weapon and the second is you get more toxins injected into your system.

Yes and decreased hospitalizations and deaths due to benign nature of Omicron totally credited to the’vaccines’ 😡

The only people dumber than the people who took the first two jabs are the ones who get additional boosters.

Not a single mention of how many received vaccination.
Could be the results were due to those. BS article.

Maybe I missed it but I didn’t see any mention in the article of the lab rat folks who participated in this research weather or not they had taken the mRNA serum.

biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he opened our southern border and spread over 2 million nondocumented invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while the centers for disease control and world health organization silently sit back and watch...

Nothing in the article about controlling for those vaccinated which has been proven to already cause heart damage.

Now, if you had taken the time to read or even quickly scan the study, they did indeed calculate after removing people from the study upon vaccination (using data up to the day before they were vaxxed. The result was the same. We have known since early 2020 that COVID aggressively attacks endothelial cells in the cardiovascular system, so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We also know recovered people have a high rate of pulmonary injury. These long-term sequelae will impact our health care system for decades, and we should be looking for ways to hold China accountable.

People typically get the common cold (coronavirus) each year. Little did we know IT IS THE CAUSE OF HEART PROBLEMS! /s

And loss of employment, forgoing preventative procedures, increased sedentarism due to being shut out of society, despair at splintered families.

These things don’t have anything to do with heart health.

Liars. It is the vaccines. I know many who have had covid and their hearts are fine.

Oh, grow up. "Liars?"

No wonder the Conservative movement is in the condition it is.

No! NO!

You can't say those things! Because they wreck the narrative that COVID-19 is just the sniffles or the flu or nothing for EVERYONE!

No one has complications!

Stop wrecking the narrative!

Why no control for the vaccinated?

The rule of modern science: If you don't want to find it, don't look for it.

The word vaccine does not appear in the report. So 100% of these people could have been jabbed!

"I know many who have had covid and their hearts are fine."

Mine seems to be. I exercise regularly -- 3 or 4 times a week. Weights, 1/2 hour run... no changes that I can note. I got the Coof back in August of last year; recovered in a bit more than a week, as did my wife and son.

I think people were predicting a year ago that the harmful effects of the vaccines would be blamed on Covid itself.

You will be surprised how many die of heart attacks triggered by the common cold.
