The COVID Heart—One Year After SARS-CoV-2 Infection, Patients Have an Array of Increased Cardiovascular Risks
COVID-19’s long-term cardiovascular outcomes:
Increased risks of cardiovascular problems, including abnormal heart rhythms, heart muscle inflammation, blood clots, strokes, myocardial infarction, & heart failure-- even 1 year out, among NOT hospitalized.
