Among the unvaccinated, long-term heart risks attributed to Covid-19 were 'everywhere,' researchers found.
Wilson, 65, contracted the virus in November 2020. Her illness, she said, was mild, and she was feeling ready to go back to work as a nurse in St. Louis by early December."I literally woke up one morning, and my heart was racing and beating erratically," Wilson recalled."I was having intense chest pain."
Indeed, it appears the coronavirus can leave patients at risk for heart problems for at least one year following infection, according to one of the largest analyses of post-Covid health effects to date., found that the illness increased the possibility of heart rhythm irregularities, as well as potentially deadly blood clots in the legs and lungs, in the year after an acute infection.
The study's lead author, Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University in St. Louis, said he and his colleagues expected to see some elevation in heart problems following Covid, but assumed it would be limited largely to people whose health wasn’t robust previously.
Covid-19 patients in this study were infected before vaccines were available, so it is unclear how the shots might alter the findings.
