Even mild Covid can increase your chance of blood clots after the initial infection. *all images available as editable, printable files, DM for info.

"I hope to god I'm wrong. I've never wanted to be more wrong in my life.... Worst case scenario... we are going to see a tsunami of cardiovascular disease over the next few decades." #LongCOVID
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."

"Impaired endothelial function can be documented in convalescent COVID-19 patients, especially when residual clinical manifestations persist."
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."
A Case of Deep Vein Thrombosis After Recovery From COVID-19 and Its Association With Elevated D-dimers
"Elevated D-dimer levels are a predictor of hypercoagulation complications in COVID-19. Patients with persistently elevated D-dimer levels after recovery from COVID-19 should be screened for thromboembolic complications, even if they are asymptomatic."
Persistent capillary rarefication in long COVID syndrome
"current data strongly suggest that COVID-19 leaves a persistent capillary rarefication even 18 months after infection. Whether, to what extent, and when the observed damage might be reversible remains unclear. If capillary rarefaction were to persist..."
Even a mild case of COVID can put you at higher risk for blood clots and death, according to a new study
"...individuals who had been diagnosed with COVID but weren’t hospitalized were still at a risk nearly 3 times as high for venous thromboembolism—blood clots & pulmonary embolism—when compared with similar individuals who hadn’t had COVID."
COVID-19 Demonstrates That Inflammation Is a Hyperviscous State
COVID-19 Demonstrates That Inflammation Is a Hyperviscous State "complications of COVID-19 are caused by blood hyperviscosity driven by marked hyperfibrinogenemia. This results in a distinctive hyperviscosity syndrome...A change in blood viscosity causes a threefold inverse change in blood flow..."

COVID-19 as a Vascular Disease: Lesson Learned from Imaging and Blood Biomarkers - PubMed
From 2020: "COVID-19 can be considered a vascular disease with regards to serious complications and causes of mortality...blood clots have emerged as the common factor unifying many of the symptoms initially attributed without an explanation to COVID-19."

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."

"Furthermore, the virus itself provokes a direct endothelial injury activating the coagulation cascade. The vascular endothelium is a key target-organ of SARS-Cov-2"
Hormone Therapy in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review
"...the benefits of menopausal hormone therapy outweigh the risks even in the situation of COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination. Caution is needed in relation to the risk of thrombosis"
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."

More evidence that LongCOVID symptoms are due to widespread endothelial damage and a failed fibrinolytic system. We again found numerous entrapped inflammatory molecules; and this time also antibodies in microclots
