But a recent study of 100 recovered coronavirus patients reveals 78 of them now have lasting cardiovascular damage even though a vast majority of them had mild cases of COVID-19 in the first place.
The study published Monday in JAMA Cardiology details the results of cardiac MRI exams of 100 recovered coronavirus patients. Twenty-eight of them required oxygen supplementation while fighting the virus, while just two were on ventilators. But 78 of them still had cardiovascular abnormalities after recovery, with 60 of them showing "ongoing myocardial inflammation," the study shows. These conditions appeared to be independent of case severity and pre-existing conditions, though JAMA researchers note these findings need a larger study.

I posted that last night. Here's a response from someone who has a lot of knowledge in the area.
So I read the article. First of all it was very few patients. Too small to really tell if it is common or not in the general population. It's just an observation they are making. And all it really says is there was inflammation observed early in the recovery process. I didn't see anything about lasting tissue damage. And it said virus was not present in the cardiac tissue.
