New @cidrap.bsky.social analysis finds people with Long COVID are far more likely to develop cardiovascular disease: 11.9% vs 6.8% in those without Long COVID.
Adjusted odds show a 37% higher risk of any CVD diagnosis.

Long COVID isn’t just lingering symptoms — it’s linked to higher odds of angina (Odds Ratio: 1.81) and heart attack (OR 1.50). Millions may face preventable long‑term heart complications. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/long-covid-patients-more-likely-develop-heart-disease-study-finds #LongCOVID #Cardiology #COVID19 #HeartDisease #HealthRisks #CIDRAP
