Frankfurt study reveals heart damage remains in majority of corona patients
03 August 2020, by William Nehra
A new study has found that over three quarters of people who have recovered from coronavirus are left with heart damage. This affects patients even if they were healthy before contracting the virus and only exhibited mild symptoms.

The effects of COVID-19 on the heart
A new study by the Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging at Goethe University (Goethe CVI) in Frankfurt has found that 78 percent of people examined in the study exhibited inflammatory changes in the myocardium (heart muscle) and the pericardium (the sac that contains the heart). High levels of Troponin (a group of proteins that help regulate heart contractions) were also found in the blood of 71 percent of patients, indicating heart muscle damage that could be permanent in some cases.

All of the patients in the study had previously recovered from coronavirus and had no previous symptoms of heart disease prior to being examined. Two-thirds of the patients either exhibited mild coronavirus symptoms and recovered at home or showed no symptoms at all, while only a third were treated in hospital.

Myocardial inflammation occurred to almost the same degree in those who recovered at home as those who were hospitalised. Patients were affected regardless of their previous health history or how healthy they were prior to contracting COVID-19. All of the patients involved in the study were aged between 45 and 53.

Yeah, I heard about that study. Important to wait and see whether it gets confirmed with more results but definitely a bit scary.

There's a tiny, tiny chance that I had COVID about six weeks ago. After my older daughter caught a cold/cough, I got pretty normal head cold symptoms, no fever or chest cough but a decently severe upper respiratory cold. Took maybe 7-8 days to recover and was very fatigued during that time. Never got tested cause there was no fever and the cough was clearly an upper respiratory cough.

The thing that's weirding me out is that I stayed fatigued for a good month after I got sick, which doesn't happen to me after a simple cold. I finally felt good enough to start working out again about 10 days ago, and I'm getting VERY winded, elevated heartbeat and running out of breath and shyt. Maybe I'm just getting old, maybe I was just working out in too much heat, I dunno. We'll see.

I felt I had it back in Feb and Mar for the same reason as you. I had symptoms of my "cold" for a month and a half and I was ill like never before.

I also had a constant dry cough for the full two months. I remember a lot of folks in this thread say their had weird illnesses around that time too. Probably a lot more people have had this than can be imagined.

Also, if there is some immunity after getting it I have to be honest. Ive been safe like 90 percent of the time but I've also had some reckless situations and haven't gotten it or gotten sick. I need that antibody test if it isn't too late to get it.

Could be frozen foods? the initial outbreak in Wuhan also started around seafood market.

It looks like contamination indeed came from frozen food as one of the family member works at a cool store.

So that makes things really complicated because if there is an outbreak in a food factory, they may have to trace back up to 14 days earlier all the restaurants/shops that were served or sold the goods. Thats an administrative nightmare sheesh.
