Summary
A person with long COVID developed myocarditis (indicated by a higher T2 ratio on cardiac MRI), hypertension, palpitations and occasional chest pain. Six months on they still took medication and their fitness remained very poor. Jogging 1 km or punching a heavy bag for 15 minutes left them significantly worse and fatigued for one to three days. After 2.5 months, jogging 1 km raised their heart rate by 10 for two to three days.
