“One in eight people who were hospitalised with COVID-19 between May 2020 and March 2021 were later diagnosed with myocarditis, or heart inflammation, according to major new research into the clinical long-term effects of COVID-19.” ⁦@UofGlasgowgla.ac.uk/news/headline_…
“The largest study of its kind to date was led by the University of Glasgow in collaboration with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC), and followed for one year, in real time, 159 patients after they were hospitalised with COVID-19” #LongCovid #CountLongCovid
“However, this new landmark study suggests that it is the severity of the COVID-19 infection itself which is most closely correlated to the severity of a patient’s long-COVID symptoms, rather than pre-existing health problems”
Interesting new findings in @NatureMedicine

#LongCovid does not discriminate. People of all ages and backgrounds have had their lives and careers robbed from them by this disease. A 🧵 highlighting some younger people with #LongCovid.
Ravi is 23 years old. He plays the violin and is currently struggling to get his masters done while fighting #LongCovid.
Sophia is 20 years old and had a normal life and did normal things any young person would do before developing #LongCovid. Her life is very different now.
