Ediitor’s Note: I found this brief summary of a Covid study from a link in the Naked Capitalism blog this morning. [Don]

Had ChatGPT rewrite this in common language. This study used miniature heart tissues grown from human stem cells to investigate how the heart is affected by COVID-19. They found that mild infections can linger in the heart without immediately causing major problems, lasting for about a month. However, when these heart tissues were put in low-oxygen conditions, similar to what happens in heart diseases, the heart’s function worsened. This was due to the reactivation of COVID-19 within the heart cells and damage to the blood vessel network. The research suggests that COVID-19 can stay hidden in the heart and cause serious issues when the heart is under stress, like during a heart disease. This could lead to a rise in heart failure cases following the COVID-19 pandemic.
