I can’t do this anymore. We are forced to forget everything we have learned about Covid over the last 5 years, & we have pretended to be puzzled FOR YEARS. Covid has been WRECKING our hearts since 2020. If you’re getting Covid, your heart is probably not okay.

Cardiac Manifestations of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

“Cardiac injury is recognized as one of the most frequent complications of the disease. Long-term cardiac complications following COVID-19 include ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and myocarditis.”

➡️“Clinicians and other interprofessional healthcare team members need to maintain a high degree of suspicion for developing these complications, especially since typical symptoms of cardiac disease may not be present in these patients.”

Cases of PoTS Have Been On The Rise Since Covid — Here Are the Symptoms To Watch For
Cases of PoTS Have Been On The Rise Since Covid — Here Are the Symptoms To Watch For

“According to the NHS: “Postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is when your heart rate increases very quickly after getting up from sitting or lying down. It can get better with changes to your lifestyle, but some people may need treatment with medicines.” The condition is also sometimes known as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. In recent years, cases of the condition have risen and interest in it has, too, with Google Trends data showing that even just in the past year, there has been a 61% increase in people searching for the term.”

Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Rates and Excess Deaths, 2010–2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased during the initial years of the COVID-19 pandemic, but whether these trends endured in 2022 is unknown. This analysis describes temporal trends in CVD death rates from 2010 to 2022 and estimates excess CVD deaths from 2020 to 2022.

SARS-CoV-2 Damages Cardiomyocytes Mitochondria and Implicates Long COVID-associated Cardiovascular Manifestations
After Covid infection rest for a few months. This paper reveals mitochondrial damage to cardiomyocytes— cells that allow heart to beat. This is likely a reason for increased sudden cardiac death during exercise post acute Covid.

COVID-19 in the Initiation and Progression of Atherosclerosis: Pathophysiology During and Beyond the Acute Phase

SARS-CoV-2 infection can markedly influence the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic lesions.

  1. Endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and persistent inflammation are potential drivers of increased atherosclerosis following COVID-19.

Excellent multi-tweet analysis thread of new study:

New paper in PLOS Pathogens has findings about:

  • the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on cardiac cells (and mitochondrial dysfunction!),
  • a treatment to be investigated, and
  • how this is NOT caused by mRNA vaccines

“New evidence has revealed that anyone infected with COVID is at higher risk for heart issues including clots, inflammation, and arrhythmias. This risk persists even in healthy people long after the illness has passed.” (Yes, even if you’re vaccinated)

Thread on Twitter: The virus indefinitely strips the blood of a specific group of cells that prevent cardiovascular disease. It’s Latent disease that will kill people. This obsession with the acute phase is myopic and/or nefarious.

She details that prior to the pandemic the average age of referrals to her cardiology clinic was aged 55-80yrs. Now it is 16-40yrs Now at least 50% are long Covid with cardiovascular symptoms.
