Covid and Heart Damage

(1/n) Nature: Lingering cardiac involvement in previously well people after mild COVID-19: persistent subclinical cardiovascular inflammation seems to predispose people to a poor prognosis and the development of heart failure.
COVID-19’s Lingering Toll On The Heart
"research is revealing more about the longterm consequences of even one infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus...finding long-lasting signs of heart disorders in the majority of recovered patients in their study group–even up to nearly a year later."
Raina MacIntyre 😷💉💉💉💉 on Twitter
People with mild COVID can develop shortness of breath and palpitations post-COVID, and this may be due to inflammation of the heart.
Study Finds Increased Heart Disease, Stroke Risk After Surviving Even Mild Covid-19
After Covid: 63% higher likelihood of heart attack 72% higher likelihood of heart failure 145% higher likelihood of cardiac arrest. atrial fibrillation (71% more likely), sinus tachycardia (84%) sinus bradycardia (53%) ventricular arrhythmias (84%).

"The imaging findings suggest that inflammatory cardiac involvement after COVID may be a pathophysiological commonality shared among all individuals, regardless of the expression of cardiac symptoms"
COVID-19 diagnosis raises risk of heart attack, stroke - Harvard Health
“In the week after a COVID-19 diagnosis, the risk of a first heart attack increased by three to eight times. The risk of a first stroke caused by a blood clot multiplied by three to six times.”
Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19
“beyond the first 30 d after infection…increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease…including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure and thromboembolic disease.“

good overview of what we know - and don't know - about increased risk of heart problems after covid
Coronavirus spike protein activated natural immune response, damaged heart muscle cells
Multiple ways SarsCov2 damages the heart, not found in other coronaviruses, colds or flu:
Long-term Effects of COVID-19 in Athletes
"MRI scans of 26 collegiate athletes who had tested positive for COVID-19, 12 of whom displayed mild symptoms and 14 of whom were asymptomatic. None of the participants had required hospitalization for their COVID-19 symptoms..."
Heart disease after COVID: what the data say
"studies suggest that the risk of cardiovascular problems, such as a heart attack or stroke, remains high even many months after a SARS-CoV-2 infection clears up." Heart disease after COVID: what the data say
Three Months After Covid-19, Individuals Are More Prone To Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease
"Three Months After Covid-19, Individuals Are More Prone To Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease"
Dr Claire Taylor on Twitter
- 21 players were tested before and after #COVID19 infection
- post-Covid testing revealed abnormalities up to 2 months after infection, including raised heart rate
Scientists identify how the coronavirus spike protein causes heart damage
New research has uncovered "direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is toxic to heart muscle cells," according to its lead author.
Can Even a Mild Case of COVID Cause Heart Damage?
"...disruptive heart rhythms, inflammation of the heart, blood clots, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure and even death — can occur among previously healthy individuals who have had mild COVID-19 infections."
Post-COVID syndrome: How's your heart?
"As a cardiovascular physician, I've seen patients who have heart failure and heart rhythm problems due to COVID19 ...younger people are not immune. We've seen 40-year-old athletes who have difficulty walking, who have heart failure and who have dementia."
How covid 19 affects the heart in long haulers
"Health providers can't yet predict who will experience heart problems after recovering from COVID. Many of those affected are young and otherwise healthy."
Heart failure after COVID-19 recovery a serious possibility
"Studies are now showing that survivors of COVID-19 who didn't have heart failure before catching the virus, even those who didn't require hospitalization, may have a potential increased risk of heart failure after recovery."
What COVID-19 is doing to the heart, even after recovery
"...many COVID-19 survivors experience some type of heart damage, even if they didn't have underlying heart disease and weren't sick enough to be hospitalized...has health care experts worried about a potential increase in heart failure."
Heart problems after COVID-19: what we know now
Study in JAMA Cardiology used cardiac MRI to evaluate presence of myocardial injury in patients recently recovered from COVID-19. Of 100 patients evaluated, researchers found abnormalities in the hearts of 78 and "ongoing myocardial inflammation” in 60.

Possibly related: I’ve been seeing LOTS of otherwise young healthy men coming in with severe heart failure like EF of 10%. Is anyone else seeing this? Does this have to do with COVID? Like people in their 20-30s.

Dr Zoë Hyde on Twitter
"COVID-19 can cause lasting damage to the cardiovascular system, even in “mild” cases.
Over one year of follow-up, survivors had increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes, abnormal heart rhythms, heart inflammation, and heart failure."
