“…Another hypothesis is that SARS-CoV-2 causes myocardial injury indirectly, as there is often a temporal delay between the cardiac presentations and SARS-CoV-2 infection. 27 , 30 , 31 A handful of mechanisms may be relevant and may coexist in some patients, such as, venous thromboembolism, with pulmonary embolism being an important cause of adverse outcomes associated with COVID-19. 32 An autopsy report from Germany reported deep venous thrombosis in 58% of patients (7 of 12) in whom venous thromboembolism was not suspected before death, 13 and the incidence of alveolar capillary microthrombi was significantly higher than following H1N1 influenza.…”

The mechanisms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related myocardial injury comprise both direct viral invasion and indirect (hypercoagulability and immune-mediated) cellular injuries. Some patients with COVID-19 cardiac involvement have poor clinical outcomes, with preliminary data suggesting long-term structural and functional changes. These include persistent myocardial fibrosis, edema, and intraventricular thrombi with embolic events, while functionally, the left ventricle is enlarged, with a reduced ejection fraction and new-onset arrhythmias reported in a number of patients. Myocarditis post-COVID-19 vaccination is rare but more common among young male patients. Larger studies, including prospective data from biobanks, will be useful in expanding these early findings and determining their validity.

“…In some people, elevated troponin levels in the blood are accompanied by changes in the ECG. 14,15 The case discussed in this study is notable because the patient developed AP symptoms after recovering from the COVID-19 infection. Additionally, the patient's cardiac biomarkers and non-specific ECG patterns have changed, possibly caused by pancreatitis or COVID-19 complications.…”

The Influence of Different SARS-CoV-2 Strains on Changes in Maximal Oxygen Consumption, Ventilatory Efficiency and Oxygen Pulse of Elite Athletes

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different SARS-CoV-2 strains on the functional capacity of athletes. Methods: In total, 220 athletes underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) after coronavirus infection and before returning to sports activities. Eighty-eight athletes were infected by the Wuhan virus, and 66 were infected during the Delta and Omicron strain periods of the pandemic. Results: The CPET results showed significantly decreased maximal oxygen consumption, ventilatory efficiency, and oxygen pulse in athletes who were infected with Wuhan and Delta strains compared to athletes who suffered from Omicron virus infection. An early transition from aerobic to anaerobic metabolic pathways for energy production was observed in the Wuhan and Delta groups but not in athletes who were infected with the Omicron strain. There were no differences in the obtained results when Wuhan and Delta virus variants were compared. Conclusion: These results suggest that the Wuhan and Delta virus strains had a significantly greater negative impact on the functional abilities of athletes compared to the Omicron virus variant, especially in terms of aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory function.
