After reading the American College of Cardiology website, my laymen's interpretation:
We must do a lot of testing for Covid-19 to find where the virus is. Then, on top of that, it's a new pathogen with long-term complications nobody understands. Now, here comes the fact Myocarditis routinely develops as a complication from Covid-19. This too requires testing to see who might have developed Myocarditis. A simple blood test can identify Tropinin protein levels in the blood (the higher the level, the more likely Myocarditis exists), but MRIs may also be required to confirm diagnosis.
Myocarditis is mild in most cases, but the Mayo Clinic says this:

Quote:In many cases, myocarditis improves on its own or with treatment, leading to a complete recovery. Myocarditis treatment focuses on the cause and the symptoms, such as heart failure. In mild cases, persons should avoid competitive sports for at least three to six months.
