Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) showed subclinical myocardial injury in 85% of a sample of Covid survivors with symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain. Subclinical myocardial injury, thus, can be common in #LongCovid with such symptoms - ThreadSky

Please tell this to my cardiologist who thinks the following about COVID effects on the heart:

Many don’t read studies, I am losing faith. GP I spoke to didn’t agree that covid causes blood clocks.Totally unbelievable!

Tick tock, to that time bomb! 😜💣😬

How do DOCTORS NOT READ STUDIES? I mean, you're right but WTF. People went to school about a full decade and then did a residency for the primary purpose of helping cure sick people and they aren't even curious about a novel airborne pathogen?!?!? It's beyond unbelievable.

So, for the rest of us, what does this mean and what it the outcome?

elisaperego78.bsky.social•2 days ago

My opinion as a patient and researcher is that many with LC have various types of damage/dysfunction to the heart sometimes undetected. I am not a medical doctor though

"Subclinical myocardial dysfunction, as shown by a decrease in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS), is common in over 85% of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome [#LongCovid]."

"However, more commonly observed indicators of left ventricular (LV) function, such as lower ejection fraction (EF) and anomalies in wall motion, were less frequently found" in #LongCovid [in the study].

Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is more effective than less sensitive methods to show subtle damage/dysfunction of the heart, which makes it a better method to reveal cardiac complications in #LongCovid

I’ve never heard of a 3DE before. Is it fair to assume that it would show different results than a standard EKG and echocardiogram? I still have chest pain 2+ years later, but my heart is “fine” 😵‍💫

Presume so? An expert cardiologist could speak more about this
