COVID and the Heart: It Spares No One | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

New evidence suggests anyone infected with COVID is at higher risk for heart issues—a risk that persists even in relatively healthy people long after the illness has passed.

This is a study of nearly more than 11 million people. People tell me most vets are males, but 10% are females—meaning our study has more than 1 million females. Similarly, 20% [of study participants] are Black—more than 2 million people.

In addition to this, we did subgroup analyses to see what would happen in only women, only men, only Black people or white people, people younger than a certain age or older than a certain age. Across the board we saw an increased risk of heart problems. This tells us that it doesn't matter if you are a female or male, Black or white, older or younger, diabetic, a smoker, have chronic kidney disease or other cardiovascular risk factors, or not. The risk was across the board, and it’s driven by COVID-19. It really spared no one.

Increased risk for heart a year after Covid, even in asymptomatic healthy people...

Hope for future:
the study analyzed the data before vaccination, so we can hope the data might look better for vaccinated people

Edit: more than an interview, it's an interesting immunological presentation on Omicron

However, apparently fully recovered cases may have underlying, low-grade cardiac injury that could prove a health risk in the event of a premature return to vigorous physical exercise, whether through sport or work activity. The cardiac status of the recovering COVID-19 patient therefore merits specific consideration.

For athletes with a history of mild COVID-19 illness, the EAPC recommends refraining from exercise until symptom-free for 7 days and resuming training in a graduated way.

After at least one week of resting, one should slowly and gradually get back to exercise after Covid, listening to personal limits and resting, specially in case of long COVID.

You know, you can play Russian Roulette for so long. Sure the current Wave(s) isn't as severe, but COVID keeping scientists on their toes. It's hard to predict, but the Law of Averages exist. At some point COVID will become lethal again along with it's more ease of transmission, and those who haven't had the vaccination is going to get caught bad.
