That's circular logic. If patient A dies of heart failure during a covid-19 infection, you should not be concluding that the patient likely had a heart issue prior to the covid-19 infection.
Sure, it might be the case, but you cannot draw any conclusion here unless you compare it to other pneumonia cases.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoYour second statement undermines your first.
- koheripbal 7y agoNo, I don't think they do. Can you be more specific?
- beenBoutIT 7y agoThe heart damage would be more meaningful in patients who have had clean EKGs prior to being diagnosed with covid-19. Here in the US covid symptoms are most likely causing a good number of adults to see a doctor after decades of no medical checkups or for for the first time.
