I’d just like to point to this thread:

I found it useful at the time, and – glancing back at it now – still do.

I’d like to call particular attention to a post that I made:

This is a known consequence of COVID. I haven’t looked to see if similar studies have been conducted more recently, or if any of these patients have been followed over the subsequent years.

But … cardiac consequences of COVID = no bueno. IANAD, but I’m pretty comfortable that I’m not out over my skis, here :wink:
