Myocarditis and COVID-19: A Tale of Two Articles

“I disagree; calling myocarditis mild reminds me of the saying about minor surgery. Minor surgery is surgery on someone else; mild myocarditis is something that happens to other folks’ kids. Humans have only one heart; inflaming it at a young age is not a small thing.”
He rightly noted that affected young people were “discharged from the hospital” and said that, “As an electrophysiologist, I see the complications of myocarditis: heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia due to scar. Availability bias notwithstanding, heart rhythm doctors feel the asymmetry of myocarditis risk. Although it is true that most myocarditis resolves without issue, it is also true that sometimes it does not.” He favorably quoted University of Michigan cardiologist Dr. Venk Murthy, who said in a Twitter thread that influenced my thinking on this topic that, “people with myocarditis are usually counseled to limit activity, placed on 1 or more meds and are at lifetime increased risk of cardiac complications. This can have profound consequences.”...”
