Covid-19
can suffer long-term lung and heart damage but, for many, this tends to improve over time, according to the first prospective follow-up of patients infected with the
coronavirus
, presented at the International Congress of the European Society of Breathing.
At the time of their first visit, more than half of the patients had at least one persistent symptom, mostly dyspnea and cough, and CT scans still showed lung damage in 88% of the patients.
However, by the time of his next visit 12 weeks after discharge, the symptoms had improved and the lung damage was reduced to 56%.
At this stage, it is too early to have test results at 24 weeks.
