This study looks at medical records of veterans, identifying substantial cardiovascular risk over the 12 months following SARS-CoV2 infection.
This study is data driven and has been leading people to look for mechanisms and pathways, clotting (perhaps driven by inflammatory processes) in particular has gained a following under the hashtag #teamclots with a number of scientific and journalistic investigations leaning heavily on the data presented here. Existing connections are established in a general way between vascular/haematological problems and neurological disease, via strokes, and also potentially via vascular/cerebrovascular amyloidoses. It is still not clear to this editor (Feb 2023) what relative significance clotting, ischaemia etc might have relative to the other pathways to amyloid disease.
