Description
Moulias and fourteen colleagues test blood vessel function after COVID-19 in twenty twenty-four. The virus appears to damage the endothelium, the lining of blood vessels. Such damage may precede clots and heart complications. The team used a fingertip tonometry device to measure vessel response.
Twenty-three patients were compared with twenty-two matched controls. The patients' vascular response index was clearly lower two months after discharge. The gap was visible during hospitalisation and lasted six months. Over half the patients met the dysfunction threshold while hospitalised. Rates of clots, heart events, and death did not differ significantly. The authors conclude vessel dysfunction after COVID-19 can persist.
