Abstract:Background
The COVID-19 has been shown to have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, but it is unclear how long these effects last in college students. This study aimed to assess the long-term impact of COVID-19 on arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and blood pressure in college students.
Methods
We enrolled 37 college students who had been infected with COVID-19 for more than 3 months. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was used to assess endothelial function, while arterial stiffnes… Show more
