Cardiac involvement and myocardial inflammation are common in recovered COVID-19 patients, according t
new study published in JAMA Cardiology.
The authors studied cardiac imaging results of 100 adult patients included in the University Hospital
Frankfurt COVID-19 Registry. All patients had confirmed cases of COVID-19 but passed a swab test after
least two weeks in isolation. They were recruited for this analysis between April to June 2020.
The team tracked patients who had experienced a wide variety of outcomes after their diagnosis. Just t
of the 100 patients had to undergo mechanical ventilation, for example, and oxygen supplementation was
required in 28 patients.
All participants underwent cardiac MR imaging using standardized and unified protocols on 3T MRI
scanners. The cohort was compared with 50 healthy control patients and 57 risk factor-matched patients
Overall, the team found that 78 patients had abnormal imaging findings. Findings included raised
myocardial native T1 (73 patients), raised myocardial native T2 (60 patients), myocardial late gadolin
enhancement (32 patients) and pericardial enhancement (22 patients). Three patients underwent a biopsy
after severe abnormalities were detected.

I am curious as to what the results would be for a random sample of the population, though.
But no information was known BEFORE the COVID diagnosis.
So, while this is interesting and certainly worthy of more research, it doesn't say too much about COVID and cardiac issues since the issues may have existed BEFORE the COVID diagnosis.

While true, 100% of the studies have found this so far.

so they were all old, existing conditions and findings are
inconclusive.
Like I said in other messages, I have seen nothing on this from reliable news sources.

This is what I figured. They are continuing with the Narrative of "they had COVID and then later died. It must be because of COVID. Keep everything locked down."

Which studies have found these after efffects of COVID?

I think we may just need clarification on what you consider reliable
news sources, as I've seen reports in news distributors considered
aligned with nearly every political bent.
