Trends in Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Rates and Excess Deaths, 2010–2022
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality increased during the initial years of the COVID-19 pandemic, but whether these trends endured in 2022 is unknown. This analysis describes temporal trends in CVD death rates from 2010 to 2022 and estimates excess CVD deaths from 2020 to 2022.

🧵 My cardiologist thinks SARS-CoV-2 caused or contributed to my ascending aortic aneurysm. I had a virtual appointment with him today & if it grows another 0.5 cm (currently at 4.5 cm) I'm looking at major open chest surgery, up to 10 days in the hospital & a month off work. 1/

SARS-CoV-2 Damages Cardiomyocytes Mitochondria and Implicates Long COVID-associated Cardiovascular Manifestations
SARS-CoV-2 Damages Cardiomyocytes Mitochondria and Implicates Long COVID-associated Cardiovascular Manifestations
After Covid infection rest for a few months. This paper reveals mitochondrial damage to cardiomyocytes— cells that allow heart to beat. This is likely a reason for increased sudden cardiac death during exercise post acute Covid.

COVID-19 in the Initiation and Progression of Atherosclerosis: Pathophysiology During and Beyond the Acute Phase
COVID-19 in the Initiation and Progression of Atherosclerosis: Pathophysiology During and Beyond the Acute Phase

SARS-CoV-2 infection can markedly influence the initiation and progression of atherosclerotic lesions.

  1. Endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and persistent inflammation are potential drivers of increased atherosclerosis following COVID-19.

Excellent multi-tweet analysis thread of new study:

New paper in PLOS Pathogens has findings about:

  • the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on cardiac cells (and mitochondrial dysfunction!),
  • a treatment to be investigated, and
  • how this is NOT caused by mRNA vaccines

“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

Compared to pre-pandemic controls, survivors of Covid-19 double their risk of a cardiac event, including myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, atrial fibrillation, myopericardides and episodes of coronary heart failure, according to a new Italian study.

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.
