Prevalence of cardiovascular symptoms in post-acute COVID-19 syndrome: a meta-analysis - BMC Medicine
In a review of 37 studies, encompassing 2,965,467 patients, 15% of Covid survivors suffered from cardiovascular sequelae.

The Cardiac pathophysiology of Covid-19
“Findings emphasize that Covid-19’s myocardial pathology predominantly arises from fibrin thrombi within the coronary MICROVASCULAR network, especially in the abluminal spaces.
➡️This pathological process leads to myocardial fibre injury, necrosis, and ischemic changes( = fibrosis), contributing to both the acute symptoms and long-term sequelae (Long Covid).”

“COVID-19 at all levels of severity was associated with significantly higher risk of MI, stroke, or all-cause mortality over 1003 days of follow-up."
SARS Covid-19 as an immunothrombotic disease and the potential benefits of a new estrogen-free contraceptive containing drospirenone.
"As Covid-19 is considered an immunothrombotic disease, the potential benefits of estrogen-free contraceptives like drospirenone are discussed. Adding estrogens in contraception may rise the cardiovascular risk in Covid-19 and Long Covid patients."
New study offers clues as to how long COVID affects the heart | Houston Public Media
“A study from Houston Methodist found some #LongCovid patients aren't getting enough blood to their heart.. The ability of endothelial cells, which play a key role in dilating arteries.. was diminished by 20% among 101 long covid patients who participated”
