People who recently had Covid-19 are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, according to a new study.

For a number of weeks after infection, the risk of developing the conditions were noticeably higher, according to researchers who looked at records from more than 428,000 Covid-19 patients.

The analysis showed that Covid-19 patients had 81 percent more diagnoses of diabetes in the first four weeks after contracting the virus and that their risk remained elevated by 27 percent for up to 12 weeks after infection.

Covid-19 was also associated with a six-fold increase in cardiovascular diagnoses overall, mainly due to the development of pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) and irregular heartbeat.
