Covid NOT Responsible for ‘Explosion’ in Heart Deaths, Major Study Shows
A major new autopsy-based study has concluded that COVID-19 is not responsible for the “explosion” in heart-related deaths that’s been recorded since the pandemic.
Since the early days of the pandemic, there has been a concern that infection from the virus that causes Covid, SARS-CoV-2, could cause heart inflammation.
This heart information, called myocarditis, leads to cardiac injury and death.
A number of observational studies have appeared to show increased heart problems following infection.
However, the observational nature of these studies has led to criticism they are confounded and unreliable.
Other studies have not found an increase in heart problems following Covid infection.
It has also been established that myocarditis was not above baseline in 2020, despite soaring Covid infections.
Now the lack of relationship between COVID-19 and heart inflammation has finally been confirmed in a systematic review of 50 autopsy studies.
The studies examined the hearts of 548 patients who died of or with Covid.
While around two-thirds of the hearts had SARS-CoV-2 found in the tissue, none had extensive myocarditis as the cause of death.
