This is presumably only one aspect of “long Covid”, but a study [0] that was making the rounds a couple weeks ago found this (quoted from the accompanying editorial)[1]: > ”In 100 recovering patients included in the study, 67% of whom recovered at home, evaluated a mean of 71 days after confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis, 78% had demonstrable cardiac involvement via cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, 76% had detectable high-sensitivity troponin, and 60% had evidence of active myocardial inflammation by abnormal native T1 and T2.” > ”...if this high rate of risk is confirmed, the pathologic basis for progressive left ventricular dysfunction is validated, and especially if longitudinal assessment reveals new-onset heart failure in the recovery phase of COVID-19, then the crisis of COVID-19 will not abate but will instead shift to a new de novo incidence of heart failure and other chronic cardiovascular complications.” In other words, even mild cases of Covid-19 are very frequently resulting in heart inflammation and other forms of cardiac injury.
