“A growing number of studies suggest many COVID-19 survivors experience some type of heart damage, even if they didn’t have underlying heart disease and weren’t sick enough to be hospitalized. This latest twist has health care experts worried about a potential increase in heart failure....
Researchers found abnormalities in the hearts of 78% recovered patients and “ongoing myocardial inflammation” in 60%.”

That is only of those patients with serious ICU recoveries.
For the vast majority of people, recovery has no such issues.

"A growing number of studies suggest many COVID-19 survivors experience some type of heart damage..."
Well that makes it official and settled...'studies suggest'!
Sorry, I don't get persuaded/convinced/alarmed by if's, maybe, might, possibly, could, alleged, or 'studies that suggest'...
You're pushing noise out into the space and behaving as a propagandist and mongering fear by using a report to justify exaggerating COVID's virulence.
Certain pathogens affect patient weaknesses in immune system and preconditions that form a comorbidity in health state that could hasten/facilitate early death. That does not mean COVID overall becomes more deadly just because it can/might effect to induce a life threatening reaction/condition by its presence when certain peoples immune systems respond. That is typical risk in anyone having been infected by pathogens. Not everybody will react to the infection or recover form it the same way. There are ALWAYS risks. COVID is no different.
