"COVID infections could cause long-term deadly damage to your arteries, a study has shown.
Virus patients’ arteries became increasingly stiffer in the months after they caught it, even if their initial infection was mild, researchers found."
#EHRA2023 #COVID19 linked with 16-fold risk of life threatening heart rhythm within 6 months of exposure #EHRA2023 #EPeeps #Arrhythmias #EHRA_ESC #IftiMania #barcodetin #JHOPE #pregnancy #younggirls #LOVEISBLINDreunion
Catching COVID can trigger killer new side effect months later, scientists discover.
🔹Patients who suffered a severe bout of the virus were 16 times more likely to suffer ventricular tachycardia a deadly type of abnormal heart rhythm in 6 months
From 2020: "1/3of patients with COVID-19 ― both active and cleared cases ― showed at least some measure of myocarditis."
