“…COVID-19 survivors may have a higher incidence of MI due to the increased risk of thrombosis associated with the virus. 1 , 2 , 3 A recent study 18 has provided evidence suggesting a potential association between pneumonia and the development of myocardial fibrosis and new-onset left ventricular dysfunction, as observed through cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. It is plausible that pneumonia associated with COVID-19 could similarly contribute to the occurrence of MI by triggering an inflammatory response.…”
