Since the onset of the COVID pandemic strong statistical evidence has emerged that people who suffered from COVID are at a MUCH LARGER RISK of onset of Cardiovascular Disease.

This is because COVID attacks and weakens endothelial
tissue that lines the vessels both in the lungs and in the rest
of the body. The inflammation resulting from this can also
affect the heart.

Recently evidence has emerged that in originally healthy individuals COVID vaccinations can also induce inflammation of the vascular system and the heart. Here are the most recent publications on the subject.
