A comment on Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case.

From the article:

>Even a mild case of COVID-19 can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new study shows.

> “I am actually surprised by these findings that cardiovascular complications of COVID can last so long,”

Does this imply that the risk decreases with time as the body recovers? Or is the elevated risk permanent?

It can also mean that the people who were at the highest risk didn't live for a year, so the statistical risk is reduced for the remaining population.

Risk decreases over time, but the distribution of time-until-recovery is longer than one might hope.
