Study shows Covid link to worse heart health

Researchers have discovered that people who were treated in hospital for Covid-19 were 27 times more likely to develop blood clots, 21.5 times more likely to have heart failure, and 17.5 times more likely to have a stroke than those who hadn’t had Covid-19. Results also showed this group had a higher risk of atrial fibrillation and heart attack.
