"We're going to see more heart disease, strokes, blood clots, and other problems," warns one epidemiologist.Covid-19 survivors are at an elevated long-term risk of developing heart disease, strokes, blood clots, and other cardiovascular disorders,, the study finds that individuals who survive Covid-19 are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease one year later.
The study's cohorts were composed before the widespread availability of Covid-19 vaccines and treatments in the U.S.—global access to these lifesaving tools remains starkly unequal due to Big Pharma's profit-maximizing intellectual property monopolies—and prior to the onset of the Delta and Omicron variants.
Beyond the first month after infection, researchers found, individuals with Covid-19 exhibited heightened risks and one-year burdens of a wide range of life-threatening cardiovascular problems, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure, and thromboembolic disease.
The new paper, by contrast, shows that increased risks and one-year burdens of cardiovascular damage are evident among people who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of Covid-19—the care pathway for a majority of individuals with the disease.
