Covid May Age Women's Blood Vessels By 5 Years: Study
The CARTESIAN study found COVID-19 infection increased arterial stiffness in women by up to 1.09 m/s, equivalent to about five years of vascular aging, raising cardiovascular risks.
- A study found that women infected with COVID-19, including those with mild cases, had stiffer arteries compared to those not infected, indicating accelerated blood vessel aging.
- The vascular aging observed was equivalent to around 5 years of aging and increased cardiovascular disease risk by 3% in a 60-year-old woman, according to researchers.
- While some changes improved within a year, researchers plan to continue monitoring participants to determine if the accelerated vascular aging leads to increased heart attack and stroke risk.

Study finds Covid may have aged blood vessels by 5 years, especially among women
While blood vessels are known to become stiffer with age, a COVID-19 infection can accelerate the process and can heighten the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including stroke and heart attack, the researchers said.
A new study shows that blood vessels may stiffen faster after covid disease. Remarkable: According to the results, this only affected women. Doctors call the results "very provocative in a certain way".
A new study suggests that the virus can damage the blood vessels in the long term. In vaccinated patients, the effect seems to be weaker. Cardiologist calls the study "very provocative in some ways".
