How frequently are all college athletes checked for myocarditis?
So the NFL should cancel the kneeling and the entire season....right?
In other news athletes who have a leg amputated have been found to run slower than their ‘abled’ competition.
More government study is needed.
The snake pit that is PSU put this out?
Michael Mann’s employer?
Trust but verify.
Steroid use side effect?
94% of college and pro football players will develop some level of CTE (brain damage). The idea of shutting down football for Chicom flu but not for CTE is laughable.
BS.
Absolute BS
Do not trust. And dont waste time verifying.
It would be nice to know how they are diagnosing myocarditis. There is a big difference between a low level positive enzyme in the blood stream and full blown congestive heart failure. Many other viruses cause myocarditis so this is not unique to covid
Funny, I don't remember Barry going on about this..
We should verify. Myocarditis after a viral infection can and does occur.
But take anything PSU says as gospel?
Not anymore.
So, where is the random, double blind, peer reviewed, scientific study to back this up? Sounds anecdotal to me.
(Don’t think I’d trust anything out of PSU anyways.. bit of a backstory on credibility!)
Everyone doubted hydroxychloriquine without random, double blind, peer reviewed studies, why should anyone believe you? Go run a 6 month test with hundreds or thousands and let us know!
By the way, all the scientific studies on masks pre-covid: they don’t work against a virus. Just sayin’
Where’d you go to school mewz?
“You could have a very high-level athlete who’s got a very superior VO2 max and cardiac output ...”
How many are football players who are morbidly obese? How many use anabolic steroids? (Near 100% in some sports). Athletes are not necessarily the epitome of health. How many who didn’t have the virus have cardiac damage?
20 seconds on Google: Myocarditis
“In fact, it most often affects otherwise healthy, young, athletic types with the high-risk population being those of ages from puberty through their early 30’s, affecting males twice as often as females.”
Yup, small bumps in CPKMB or Troponins are very different than dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia.
but it is concerning....
maybe we should just cancel football all together...
Not a doctor, but a heart/ bypass patient. Also had pleurisy years ago and I imagine some loose similarity in the infection . . . just guessing.
From my untrained knowledge, myocarditis would be some type of infection/ inflammation of heart tissue. Is that treatable from some type antibiotic? How stubborn would such an infection be?
Myocarditis is a linen effect of many viruses. Like the virus it goes away
This is fear mongers from pure and simple and what most clinicians would say is yeah...so what?
