If you've had COVID, how at risk are you of having either myocarditis or pericarditis?

Come on, let's go find out.

Hello everyone, Dr. Chris Martinson here back with you with some COVID coverage.

I know I've been doing a lot of different coverage of late, but we've got to talk about this really big, really important study because it's starting to really

clarify where the injuries are, particularly for people who have long haul COVID or long COVID.

Let's take a look at this. We've got a really cool study. Again, out of Israel, we're getting a lot of our

great studies out of Israel. We're going to go through a couple of them today. Again, out of Israel, we're getting a lot of our great studies out of Israel.

We're going to go through a couple of them today. Hey, heart issues if you want to cut to the chase.

Nope, they're not associated with long COVID. Let's go find out what that means. Here's this new

study from Israel. It is the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis, both of those heart issues, obviously,

in post-COVID-19 unvaccinated patients, a large population-based study.

So coming out of all of these, oh, let me get my drawing tool out, a lot of coming out of all

these really good centers here in Israel. So this is a peer-reviewed piece of work. It's in the

Journal of Clinical Medicine. So no preprint on this one. It's been through the ringer. And let's go right in.

So the study is looking at heart issues after COVID recovery, quote, this is from their introduction.

It has recently been reported that the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis is increased in COVID-19 patients during the acute illness.

So there's a study saying that during the illness while you're in in the midst of it right you may be

hospitalized on event something but you're you're in pretty serious shape the incidence of both myocarditis

and paracarditis increased but however whether or not myrocarditis and pericarditis after the

recovery period are part of the long COVID-19 syndrome is yet unknown.

Herein we studied the incidence of myercarditis and pericarditis in a large cohort

of COVID-19 patients after recovering from the acute infection.
