Title: Could COVID-19 Cause Heart Problems?
Post by: evan_au on 14/04/2020 12:37:43
I have heard reports of patients being taken to hospital with a suspected heart attack, only to find that they don't have a heart attack, but they do have COVID-19.

Apparently up to 20% of serious COVID-19 patients end up with heart problems.

Could COVID-19 Cause Heart Problems (especially for patients with pre-existing heart conditions)?
