Description
Suhani Pahuja and co-authors follow heart patients after COVID-19 in a 2025 study. All had a past heart rhythm fault, called arrhythmia. The team asked if catching the virus raised their long-term risk of heart events or death. Records came from one large health system and ran from 2016 to 2024. Patients were split by test result and by whether the illness sent them to hospital.
Of 6,830 patients, 985 were hospitalized with the virus. That group faced near triple the death risk of those who never caught it. Their risks of heart attack, heart failure, and joint bad events also ran higher. Patients who had the virus without hospital care showed no such rise, except for death. Age, sex, and insurance type added to the risk.
