Given the growing significance of Myocarditis as a Covid-19 side effect, and the fact that though a significant variable in the College Sports discussion, it has broader implications, I thought a thread dedicated to Myocarditis would make sense.
Assumption
We have seen research show those diagnosed with Covid-19 have a higher propensity of Myocarditis than is expected in the population.
Questions
1. Do we have enough MRI scans of people who haven't had Covid-19 to compare as a control group, and accurately conclude Covid-19 is reason for increased Myocarditis?
2. Do we have any studies showing no Myocarditis before Covid-19 and having it after, in enough numbers to show causation?
3. Is it only a matter of time before all infected by Covid-19 develop Myocarditis?
4. BC mentioned two types exist. What is the Covid-19 one? More or less problematic?
5. Will it go away, or is it a permanent condition?
6. If permanent, is there any data on long-term health and life expectancy with those who have Covid Myocarditis?
7. How do you manage having Covid Myocarditis and is it best to shut down athletic activity like Eduardo Rodriguez was by the Red Sox?
8. Can you do extra damage to your heart by exerting yourself while having Myocarditis and not knowing it?
