Abstract Summary

COVID-19 survivors with pre-existing arrhythmia face heightened long-term cardiovascular risks, new research reveals. Among 6,830 patients studied, those hospitalized for COVID-19 showed nearly 3x higher mortality risk and increased rates of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke compared to uninfected controls.

Why Brain? 🧠

Arrhythmia patients hospitalized with COVID-19 face nearly 3-fold higher long-term mortality risk and increased cardiovascular complications, highlighting the need for extended cardiac monitoring in this vulnerable population.
