Long Covid's Hidden Heart Risk
Description
Long Covid patients, even those with mild cases, face significantly higher risks of heart issues, according to a new study from Swedens Karolinska Institute. The research, which analyzed data from over one million adults in Stockholm, found that women with Long Covid had an 18% chance of cardiac events, while men had a 21% chance. These risks were doubled for women and increased by about 30% for men, with the strongest links to irregular rhythms and coronary disease. The study also aligns with a 2022 US veterans study, suggesting that Long Covid poses a vascular threat and requires more attention for long-term heart care.
