Some studies suggest that the risk of heart attack or stroke remains high even months after a SARS-CoV-2 infection clears up
found that, in the 4 months after infection, people who had had COVID-19 had a roughly 2.5-fold increased risk of congestive heart failure compared with those who had not been infected.
Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as missed medical appointments, stress and the sedentary nature of isolating at home probably further contributed to the cardiovascular burden for many people, scientists suggest.7 Despite having an incomplete picture of COVID-19’s cardiovascular effects, doctors recommend caution.
When the virus enters the endothelial cells that line blood vessels, Topol says, that’s probably where many cardiovascular problems start. Blood clots form naturally to heal damage caused while the body clears the infection. These clots can clog blood vessels, leading to damage as minor as leg pain or as severe as a heart attack.
