Several analyses using a massive database of US veterans’ health records found a dramatically increased risk of dozens of conditions, including heart failure and fatigue, sometimes years postinfection.
Veterans hospitalized with COVID-19 between March and December of 2020 were followed for 2 years postinfection to assess their risks for various adverse health outcomes. Although there was a clear decline within the first year, the relative risk for several cardiovascular conditions remained elevated at 720 days.- Only 30% of service members have ideal blood pressure (< 120/< 80 mm Hg) vs 55% of civilians.
