While most people recover from COVID-19 within weeks, research suggests the virus may have lasting impacts on heart health.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that individuals who had severe COVID-19 were at an increased risk of heart inflammation, blood clotting, and even heart failure months after recovery.
Experts advise that patients who had COVID-19 monitor their heart health closely, especially those who experienced severe symptoms. The findings highlight the need for ongoing cardiovascular care for COVID-19 survivors.
