This large-scale study involving nearly a quarter-million adults revealed that COVID-19 infection significantly increases the risk of major cardiac events, especially for hospitalized patients.
Experts warn that the long-term health risks associated with COVID-19 infections, particularly regarding cardiac events, indicate the inadequacy of current public health policies.
David Putrino emphasizes the importance of informing the public about COVID-19 risks, stating that repeated infections can incur severe consequences on long-term health.
Published in the American Heart Association's journal, the findings starkly illustrate that those infected with COVID-19 face substantial long-term health risks, warranting urgent policy amendments.
