How Covid Can Break Blood Vessels and Clog Arteries
Risk of blood clots remains for almost a year after COVID-19 infection, study suggests
“COVID-19 infection increases the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots for at least 49 weeks, according to a new study of health records of 48 million unvaccinated adults from the first wave of the pandemic.”

New Guidelines Explain How to Manage Post-COVID Heart Problems
From 2022--largely ignored/unknown by clinicians: “There are also manifestations of people having an increased risk of blood clots during and after COVID-19..."
Blood clots in the heart are common in patients with COVID-19 - Mayo Clinic News Network
"Study shows that COVID-19, unlike other viruses, seems to impact the heart's small blood vessels...Chemical staining tests revealed blood clotting in the small blood vessels of the heart tissue. These fibrous blood clots may remain even after the virus is gone"
How COVID-19 Can Kill You
"COVID-19 can cause sudden death because the virus has a predilection to attack endothelial cells, which pave the blood vessel highways to all our organs...damaged endothelial cells can lead to blood clots, which can cause strokes and heart attacks."
The signs that Covid-19 has caused a blood clot - seek immediate help
"Study published last month in the journal Circulation...Covid patients were 21 times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke during their first week of a Covid diagnosis. After 4 weeks, patients were 4 times more likely to suffer either of these."
Even mild Covid raises the chance of heart attack and stroke. What to know about the risks ahead
The big concern raised by this fresh study is that medium- to long-term harms on the body’s blood vessel network (the vascular system) may be much more common than that. And it could drive a new pandemic of cardiovascular disease over the coming years."
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."
COVID-19 takes serious toll on heart health—a full year after recovery
Infected patients develop blood clots, heart inflammation, arrhythmias, and heart failure among others (
