After battling COVID-19, survivors are not necessarily "out of the woods" for escaping the virus known to kill people and are highly destructive of the immune system. That is because researchers discovered that COVID brings more heart risks to a person, likely to develop diseases or illnesses of the beating muscle in the long run.
COVID-19 Survivors: Heart Risks More Severe Says Research
COVID-19 survivors alone face massive post-infection effects of the virus, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and sometimes still losing different senses. But according to the research entitled "Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19," the coronavirus also brings problems for the heart of a person in the long run.
The article published in Nature said acute cardiovascular manifestations in people with COVID-19 during their infections. However, there is limited knowledge on its effects after the disease, especially as it is unusual that COVID affects the heart when its focus is the respiratory and immune systems of a person.

COVID-19 Makes Heart More Vulnerable to Problems
According to the researchers from Washington University, the study's initial findings are not seeing "good" results, meaning that their hypothesis turned out to be correct. In the study, the researchers saw that COVID-19 makes the heart more at risk or vulnerable to long-term diseases, developing extensively after the coronavirus infection.
COVID-19 and The New Normal
People are now more inclined to protect themselves and avoid others in a public setting to avoid COVID-19 infection and transmitting the virus throughout the community. Moreover, people are more into focusing on online takes on things, particularly with tests and vaccination schedules, which are now prone to scams or data theft.
The new normal got people looking more into testing themselves for infection or whether they picked up the virus after mingling with others when symptoms start to occur. Having the vaccine means that a person can fight through this better, having a trained immune system to know what to do when the virus comes kicking inside the body.
However, little do people know that despite the protections and practices that they do amidst the new normal, there are long-lasting effects that COVID-19 infections bring to a person.
It does not matter if the infection was severe or mild; testing positive and knowing that the virus went inside one's body and successfully infected it, the heart may face the risks it brings.
