My understanding is that myocarditis is a possible, albeit rare, complication of many viral illnesses?
Additionally, respiratory failure causes a massive strain on the heart, so it’s not hugely surprising that many patients would have heart complications.
It would be interesting to know how many patients without respiratory distress develop these cardiac symptoms.
