ABSTRACT
A growing body of evidence documents the central role that endothelial damage plays in the pathophysiology of long COVID. But it remains unclear why only certain people get Long COVID and why recovery times are so long for many affected individuals. One potential explanation is that some forms of long COVID are experienced disproportionately by people with a connective tissue disorder who are more vulnerable than others to incurring serious damage to the endothelium and the vascular extracellular matrix from the inflammatory processes triggered by COVID-19 and much slower to heal. Further research is needed to explore this hypothesis.
