Risk for Cardiovascular Disease Increased in Adults With Long COVID

Summary: People who get "long COVID" have a higher chance of developing heart disease later on. A new study looked at over a million adults and found that heart problems were much more common in those who had long COVID. Women with long COVID are especially at risk for heart failure and irregular heartbeats, facing double the risk compared to those without it. Doctors say it is very important to keep an eye on your heart health after having COVID, even if you were young and healthy before.
