Risk of new heart problems jumps after COVID-19: study
Long after recovery from COVID-19, people face significantly higher risks for new heart problems, a large study has found.
An average of one year after their recovery from the acute phase of the infection, the COVID-19 survivors had a 63 per cent higher risk for heart attack, a 69 per cent higher risk for problematic irregular heart rhythm, a 52 per cent higher risk of stroke, a 72 per cent higher risk of heart failure, and a nearly three times higher risk of a potentially fatal blood clot in the lungs compared with the other two groups, according to a report published on Monday in Nature Medicine.
The risks were high even in people who had mild COVID-19 and did not need to be hospitalized for it, he noted in a Twitter thread . "It really spared no one," Al-Aly told Reuters. "People with COVID-19 should pay attention to their health and seek medical care if they experience symptoms like chest pain, chest pressure, palpitation, swelling in the legs, etc."
