COVID infections can lead to chest pains and complications years down the line, a study claims. Researchers found patients who had tested positive were more likely to suffer the symptom six months …
Previous research has shown Covid can give people chest tightness or pain, heart palpitations and changes to their heart rate months after catching the virus.New OrleansResearchers compared 148,158 patients who tested positive for the virus from March 2020 to December 31, 2021, to the same number of Covid-negative during the period.
They also compared them to a group of the same number who attended the Intermountain Health hospital in 2019. The Covid group were significantly more likely to have chest pains six months to a year after their infection. Dr May said: “As of right now, the symptoms aren’t necessarily translating into hard outcomes, but that’s something that will need to be reassessed over time.
“It could be that lasting effects of infection on the cardiovascular system are hard to quantify in terms of diagnoses in the short-term and won’t be realised until longer follow up.”

Ethnic disparities in COVID-19 outcomes: a multinational cohort study of 20 million individuals from England and Canada - BMC Public HealthBackground Heterogeneous studies have demonstrated ethnic inequalities in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and adverse COVID-19 outcomes. This study evaluates the association between ethnicity and COVID-19 outcomes in two large population-based cohorts from England and Canada and investigates potential explanatory factors for ethnic patterning of severe outcomes. Methods We identified adults aged 18 to 99 years in the QResearch primary care (England) and Ontario (Canada) healthcare administrative population-based datasets (start of follow-up: 24th and 25th Jan 2020 in England and Canada, respectively; end of follow-up: 31st Oct and 30th Sept 2020, respectively). We harmonised the definitions and the design of two cohorts to investigate associations between ethnicity and COVID-19-related death, hospitalisation, and intensive care (ICU) admission, adjusted for confounders, and combined the estimates obtained from survival analyses. We calculated the ‘percentage of excess risk mediated’ by these risk factors in the QResearch cohort. Results There were 9.83 million adults in the QResearch cohort (11,597 deaths; 21,917 hospitalisations; 2932 ICU admissions) and 10.27 million adults in the Ontario cohort (951 deaths; 5132 hospitalisations; 1191 ICU admissions). Compared to the general population, pooled random-effects estimates showed that South Asian ethnicity was associated with an increased risk of COVID-19 death (hazard ratio: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.09-2.44), hospitalisation (1.53; 1.32-1.76), and ICU admission (1.67; 1.23-2.28). Associations with ethnic groups were consistent across levels of deprivation. In QResearch, sociodemographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors accounted for 42.9% (South Asian) and 39.4% (Black) of the excess risk of COVID-19 death. Conclusion International population-level analyses demonstrate clear ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 risks. Policymakers should be cognisant of the increased risks in some ethnic populations and design equitable health po
