Exact text from the study:
this study of a cohort of German patients recently recovered from COVID-19 infection, CMR revealed cardiac involvement in 78 patients (78%) and ongoing myocardial inflammation in 60 patients (60%), independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and time from the original diagnosis.
So over 75% of the patients in that study (unselected Btw, that’s the key) with a mean age of 49 had cardiac issues.
I agree further investigations need to be done, but you can hardly dismiss any risk of cardiac issues in the non elderly after Covid infection after reading that study.
