Mild Covid-19 can have harmful effects on your heart: Study
"Usually, you'd expect inflammation to decrease with time after infection, and for all the physiological functions to go back to normal or a healthy level. We can only speculate on what causes this phenomenon without further investigation..."

Warning to anyone who's had Covid over 'long-term risk of killer complication'
"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."
Long COVID puts some people at higher risk of heart disease. They need better long-term monitoring, says researcher
"Lasting damage to the heart and brain is an aspect of long COVID that should receive much more attention than it has so far. We have sufficient evidence now to call for ongoing monitoring of individuals across the population..."
Long COVID and heart issues: What do we know about lingering symptoms — and treatment?
"more than 200 post-COVID symptoms...most common ones include heart palpitations or racing sensations, chest pains, difficulty exercising, shortness of breath, dizziness and lightheadedness.
Long COVID is a “multisystemic illness” affecting millions..."
What everyone needs to know about the latest covid heart research
“AS MORE AND more research emerges about the impacts of COVID-19 on our bodies, it’s becoming clearer that the heart is a major target of the virus, often getting caught in its crossfire…”
New COVID Research Shows Post-Infection Heart Damage
COVID increases your risk for cardiac complications—immediately and into the future, experts say. Here's how you can protect your heart
"Even a mild case of COVID can lead to an increased risk of cardiac issues like heart failure and stroke for at least a year, according to a March study by Veterans Affairs Department researchers."
Severe COVID-19 outcomes by cardiovascular risk profile in England in 2020: a population-based cohort study
"Individuals without pre-existing CVD but with raised cardiovascular risk (by QRISK3 score) were more likely to experience severe COVID-19 outcomes and should be prioritised for prevention and treatment."
The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein induces long-term transcriptional perturbations of mitochondrial metabolic genes, causes cardiac fibrosis, and reduces myocardial contractile in obese mice
New preprint of mouse study: "The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein induces long-term transcriptional perturbations of mitochondrial metabolic genes, causes cardiac fibrosis, and reduces myocardial contractile in obese mice"
Inflammation and vascular remodeling in COVID-19 hearts
"We conclude that cardiac involvement in COVID-19 is an angiocentric macrophage-driven inflammatory process, distinct from classical anti-viral inflammatory responses, and substantially underappreciated by conventional histopathologic analysis."
Rise in sudden deaths among young people with “mild” COVID-19 points to urgent need to end the pandemic
"There is an increase in sudden deaths from heart attacks and strokes among young people infected with what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refers to as 'mild' cases of COVID-19."
