Cardiovascular outcomes in long COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Longitudinal Characterization Of Myocardial Injury In Acute On Chronic Heart Failure In Post-acute Covid-19 Readmissions: A Retrospective Analytic Cohort Study
“SARS-CoV-2 (CoV-2) myocardial injury in patients with acute on chronic heart failure (CHF) at index hospitalization has been well-characterized. Though post-acute COVID-19 (PAC) hospitalization(s) is less investigated despite evidence that CoV-2 induced inflammatory response persists for up to 3 months after initial infection.”

“Patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection carry an increased risk of cardiovascular disease encompassing various implications, including acute myocardial injury or infarction, myocarditis, heart failure, and arrhythmias. A growing volume of evidence correlates SARS-CoV-2 infection with myocardial injury, exposing patients to higher mortality risk. SARS-CoV-2 attacks the coronary arterial bed with various mechanisms including thrombosis/rupture of preexisting atherosclerotic plaque, de novo coronary thrombosis, endotheliitis, microvascular dysfunction, vasculitis, vasospasm, and ectasia/aneurysm formation.”

COVID-19 and the heart: Acute and long-term treatment options
“Management of acute and long-term COVID-19 cardiovascular syndrome is challenging and should involve a multidisciplinary team including cardiologists, intensive care specialists, infectious disease specialists, and cardiothoracic surgery specialists. A number of promising therapies were investigated during the pandemic. This chapter aims to review the best available data on acute and long-term treatment options of COVID-19 cardiovascular syndrome.”

Long COVID May Cause Long-Term Changes in the Heart and Lungs and May Lead to Cardiac and Pulmonary Diseases
“Mount Sinai study suggests COVID-19 infection should be considered a risk factor for future cardiopulmonary conditions”
History of COVID-19 doubles long-term risk of heart attack, stroke or death
Why heart attacks are striking young people - and surprising connection to a pandemic drug rule
Heart attacks are striking young Americans at “alarming levels.”
Heart attacks in people aged 18-44 years old increased by 66% between 2019 and 2023.
Child, adult COVID survivors more likely to have heart disease, symptoms, data suggest | CIDRAP
Studies from US and Poland detail COVID's cardiovascular toll: the 1st shows that infected children face significantly higher odds of conditions like high blood pressure and heart failure; the 2nd that post-infection heart symptoms are common in adults
How does Covid-19 affect your heart?
“We explain what Covid-19 does to your heart and circulatory system and how it can lead to conditions such as blood clots, heart damage, palpitations and high heart rate.”

SPECT Perfusion Defects and Impaired Strain in Mild COVID-19: A Multimodal Imaging Study with a Female-Predominant Cohort
Even with mild symptoms during the acute phase, COVID still causes damage that gets missed with standard diagnostics.
In this study, all 15 patients had blood flow irregularities in their hearts after a COVID infection with mild symptoms.
And that's just scratching the surface.

Doctors Warn COVID-19 Could Be a Hidden Trigger for Heart Attacks Long After Recovery
“A new study reveals that COVID-19 fuels dangerous plaque buildup in the arteries, making heart attacks and strokes more likely. Even after recovery, the risk remains high, stressing the importance of ongoing heart health monitoring.”
