Females, elderly, smokers, obese, comorbidities & hospitalisation had higher risk

One thing protected from long covid: vaccination

Professor Mark Petrie takes us through detecting the aetiology of heart failure

🫀 need to do more digging rather than label of HFpEF or HFrEF
🫀 be comprehensive - genetics, drugs
🫀 Inflammatory cardiomyopathies are more common than you think!
