COVID-19 Linked to Increased Long-Term Heart Risks

Recent studies indicate that individuals who have experienced severe COVID-19 infections face a significantly heightened risk of heart attacks, strokes, and mortality for up to three years post-infection. Research suggests that the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with COVID-19 may be comparable to those of individuals with a history of heart disease. Patients with a history of COVID-19 are warned that their risk of heart-related issues doubles compared to those without such a history. These findings underscore the lasting impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular health, raising serious concerns for those who have recovered from the virus.
