>>In the beginning of the pandemic there was a study that did heart scans that suggested that COVID infection generally cause lasting heart inflamation. It seems to me that there wasn’t a lot of research to validate to what extend that’s true and I see no reason to rule out that thesis.
My understanding is that similar findings occur in other diseases, especially in patients who are hospitalized, so I’m not sure that’s novel to Covid.
Bad long term consequences aren’t about whether there’s something novel to COVID but whether COVID is similar to SARS which had very bad long term effects or whether it’s not similar to SARS.
The studies that I remember saw such findings also in patients that were not hospitalized.
