CoVid Infections Age Your Blood Vessels

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DN038nZ3AWE/Even a mild case of CoVid will age your vital arteries 5 years.  This from a study by French cardiologists recently published in the European Heart Journal. The cardiovascular researchers studied data from 2090 individuals in 16 countries from late 2020 through early 2022.  Arterial aging was estimated by measuring the degree of vessel stiffness using pulse wave propagation measurements.  The negative effects of a CoVid infection were more significant in women and in those reporting lingering, long CoVid symptoms.On the positive side, those vaccinated against CoVid suffered less arterial stiffening following a CoVid infection.  Add this to the other benefits of vaccination including a less severe infection with a significantly lower risk of death.It’s important to note that vascular aging, when “natural” or prodded along by CoVid, can be reduced by exercise, blood pressure control, healthy eating, and cholesterol-lowering medications.  Just to repeat, If unchecked, this blood vessel aging will increase your risks of a heart attack and stroke.https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-covid-infection-ages-blood-vessels.htmlhttps://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurheartj/ehaf430/8236450?login=false#CoVid #coronary #vessel #stiffening #heartattack #stroke
