You must indeed be a very special person if aren’t aware that myocarditis is strongly associated with Covid and other viruses
And blood clots etc - and the list goes on
my god - you’re breathtaking
“Myocarditis is associated with COVID-19 infection. Here are the key points:
1. COVID-19 significantly increases the risk of myocarditis compared to pre-pandemic levels. Studies show myocarditis cases increased about 15 times during the pandemic[1][3].
2. The risk of developing myocarditis is substantially higher after COVID-19 infection than after vaccination. Infected individuals were 11 times more likely to develop myocarditis within 28 days of testing positive compared to vaccinated individuals[5].
3. During March 2020–January 2021, the risk of myocarditis was 0.146% among patients diagnosed with COVID-19 during a hospital encounter, compared to 0.009% among those not diagnosed with COVID-19[3].
4. After adjusting for patient and hospital characteristics, COVID-19 patients had, on average, 15.7 times the risk for myocarditis compared to those without COVID-19[3].
5. The risk varies by age and sex, with men under 40 and individuals over 50 being at higher risk[4][5].
6. COVID-19 infection can lead to other cardiovascular complications beyond myocarditis, including stroke, arrhythmias, heart attack, and weakening of the heart muscle[4].
While myocarditis remains relatively rare, these findings underscore the importance of COVID-19 prevention strategies, including vaccination, to reduce the risk of infection and its associated complications[3][5].

1. COVID-19 infection significantly increases the risk of blood clots, especially in severe cases. Close to 20% of COVID-19 patients in the ICU develop blood clots, which is much higher than the 3-10% range for ICU patients with other conditions[1].
2. The virus causes blood vessels and blood to behave in ways that promote clot formation, potentially damaging vital organs and even leading to death[1].
3. Blood clots can occur in both veins and arteries, leading to conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attacks, and strokes[2].
4. The risk of blood clots is higher in patients with severe COVID-19, those with a history of clotting disorders, and those with underlying conditions like hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or cancer[2].
5. Studies have found a significant association between genetically determined COVID-19 susceptibility and increased risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs[3].
6. People hospitalized with COVID-19 face an increased risk of life-threatening blood clots compared to those hospitalized for other reasons[4].
7. The abnormal clotting in COVID-19 patients may be triggered by high levels of inflammation caused by the SARS-CoV-2 infection[5].
These findings underscore the serious nature of COVID-19's impact on the blood and circulatory system, highlighting the importance of prevention and careful monitoring of patients.
