Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 colonization and high expression of inflammatory factors in cardiac tissue 6 months after COVID-19 recovery: a prospective cohort study
“The increase of cardiovascular risk associated with COVID-19 might be extended for years and not limited to the acute phase of the infection. This should promote the planning of longer follow-up for COVID-19 patients to prevent and promptly manage the potential occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events." ➡️ Now add reinfections into the risk equation
Comprehensive Twitter thread: 1/ A fresh, running thread on COVID’s well-documented cardiovascular harms for anyone who needs links when discussing the rise in heart failure and strokes among younger and middle-aged people since 2020:
Long-Term Adverse Effects of Mild COVID-19 Disease on Arterial Stiffness, and Systemic and Central Hemodynamics: A Pre-Post Study
8 March 2023
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.
A new study in @SciImmunology led by @AnisBarmada & Jon Klein @YaleIBIO with @lucasite_lab
@InciYildirim11
@YalePediatrics teams explored immune signatures of people who developed myocarditis after mRNA vaccines. Here is what we found. 🧵 (1/)
Doctors and researchers are beginning to see connection between COVID surges and heart attacks. @ErinNBCNews and Senior Medical Correspondent for @NBCNews
@DrJohnTorres share more.
For sudden deaths ( @MeetJess ), for young people (eg, 25-44y/o), this paper says there were about 23% to 34% more cardiac deaths than expected during the pandemic. For us older folks, about 13% to 18% more.
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.
Even mild Covid infection can harm heart health, study finds
"We were surprised to observe such a decline in vascular health, which deteriorated even further with time since COVID-19 infection,"
From 2022: "New Guidelines Explain How to Manage Post-COVID Heart Problems"
"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."

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."
