Depends. From the link I shared: However, in some athletes, the changes can make your heart look similar to how it looks when you have a form of cardiomyopathy. Because cardiomyopathy isn't harmless, your provider needs to know what makes athlete's heart different.

You were riding many miles.

I mean, yes. But she's also being sued by the anti Covid vax nonprofit she founded for using nonprofit funds to buy herself a $3MM house in Florida (among other things), so apparently a scam artist too. Maybe do just a slight bit of research on the sources before sharing them.

one of the sources is a website called goodsciencing.com. i wish i were kidding.

https://goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/

they compare the goodsciencing list with an actual paper and make no attempt to correct for the different criteria. the small number is for actual athletes; the goodsciencing list is anyone who ever maybe played sports once. toss in a screenshot of a model for cumulated excess mortality that was published with a "unreliable" disclaimer et voila. a masterpiece.

what's more interesting / sad here is to see the speed at which this can propagate. people see a headline, look at some highlighted portions of a "paper" - really a letter to the editor - and retweet it. half the time the retweet summary has nothing to do with the paper itself. in this case you can't even get to it without paying and there isn't even an abstract - just a conveniently highlighted screenshot! it'll get reposted here on this forum about thirty times and next thing you know its gospel. anyone who doesn't "know" this is true is a covidiot, a communist, and probably has a bad credit score.

I recall some basketball players:
Jason Collier
Conrad McRae
Reggie Lewis
Pete Maravich

In 1971 the NFL lost Chuck Hughes from a heart attack on the field.
They put an oxygen mask on him and transported him off the field and kept playing.


There is something called "Athlete's Heart"
Think about it.
Pheidippides supposedly uttered "NIKE", then collapsed and died after the battle of Marathon.
Those 26 miles did him in.
Athlete's heart?

From what I understand, the term athlete's heart refers to a heart that is somewhat enlarged because of the exercise and is not a dangerous issue and does not lead to cardiac issues. However, for someone who was sedentary, the same signs would be of strong concern.

Some years ago, I started going to a doctor who had previously been the team doctor for an international US boxing team. At the time, I rode bicycles about 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year.

One day at his office, he did an EKG on me and the interpretation from the machine was that my heart was "abnormal". I found that to be a bit alarming and asked about it. He said that the EKG machine didn't know how much I rode the bicycle. That "abnormal" persisted for some years, but now, about 40 years later, the EKG's say it is"normal".


Similar situation. I put in 3-5k per year also, typically. Nearly hit 6k in 2022. My EKG is not normal, however, I do have a small bit of regurgitation in one valve also.

Are there studies showing that Covid is equally or more likely to cause myocarditis in young healthy people than the vaccine itself? Until then, I'm not really listening. It shouldn't be difficult for the science/medical community to come to a consensus...but that would assume that they were largely honest bodies with no agenda one way or the other.
yes



https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2110475

that being said it is noteworthy that the error bars overlap, even if the point estimates are ~8x apart. i think the takeaway is that myocarditis is not very common from either.


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9025013/

Quote:

Myocarditis and pericarditis are potential post-acute cardiac sequelae of COVID-19 infection, arising from adaptive immune responses. We aimed to study the incidence of post-acute COVID-19 myocarditis and pericarditis. Retrospective cohort study of 196,992 adults after COVID-19 infection in Clalit Health Services members in Israel between March 2020 and January 2021. Inpatient myocarditis and pericarditis diagnoses were retrieved from day 10 after positive PCR. Follow-up was censored on 28 February 2021, with minimum observation of 18 days. The control cohort of 590,976 adults with at least one negative PCR and no positive PCR were age- and sex-matched. Since the Israeli vaccination program was initiated on 20 December 2020, the time-period matching of the control cohort was calculated backward from 15 December 2020. Nine post-COVID-19 patients developed myocarditis (0.0046%), and eleven patients were diagnosed with pericarditis (0.0056%). In the control cohort, 27 patients had myocarditis (0.0046%) and 52 had pericarditis (0.0088%). Age (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.93 to 1.00) and male sex (aHR 4.42; 95% CI, 1.64 to 11.96) were associated with myocarditis. Male sex (aHR 1.93; 95% CI 1.09 to 3.41) and peripheral vascular disease (aHR 4.20; 95% CI 1.50 to 11.72) were associated with pericarditis. Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with either myocarditis (aHR 1.08; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.56) or pericarditis (aHR 0.53; 95% CI 0.25 to 1.13). We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.


Covid does not cause myocarditis, the data does not support this at all. This was always a myth to cover up for the fact that the vaccine was causing it.

Any docs here care to comment or clarify? I have no idea.

Quote:

A Google search of the words "football player commotio cordis" between the years 1970 and 2022 yielded ONE 2011 report of a junior varsity football player in Massachusetts who suffered from commotio cordis.

So far, I have been unable to find any documented cases that have occurred in the NFL. (Perhaps our readers can find some cases and share them with us).

This suggests that the age of NFL players and the protective padding over their hearts result in a lower incidence of commotio cordis than the incidence documented in sports such as baseball, in which players' chests are exposed to a projectile.

In the final analysis, only a thorough physical examination of Damar Hamlin's heart can determine what caused his sudden collapse. As Dr. McCullough stated in his initial assessment last night:

If Damar Hamlin indeed took one of the COVID-19 vaccines, then subclinical vaccine-induced myocarditis must be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Sure. Thankfully Zobel followed up as to why the data itself is questionable too.

Considering her entire livelihood is apparently made from stealing from a nonprofit that solicited donations by convincing people that the vaccine is killing everyone, it might be good to ignore what she says. Similar to people like Eric Feigl-Ding in the other direction.

theyre people just like the rest of us and the only difference in them being too scared to stand up and the general public not doing so, is they had alot more $ to lose.

3 of the papers were from 2022 and did not account nor control for the vaccine. The other 2 were from 2021 when we did't know as much about it, but these were prior to the vaccine so the data is better.

The last one is the most important one of those you posted.

Pretty much the only people who have issues that I have seen anywhere are those with the vax. I've never seen anyone have heart issues from Covid who didn't also have other commorbidities.

American College of Cardiology
Sports Participation and Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Jun 28, 2016


Quote:

In the United States, there are approximately 100 to 150 sudden cardiac deaths (SCD) during competitive sports each year. The estimated incidence of SCD among athletes versus non-athletes was found to be 0.44 per 100,000 person-years, and 13 per 100,000 person-years, respectively. Despite the higher risk of SCD in the general non-athlete population, SCD among athletes garners intense scrutiny by the media and represents an emotionally charged medical topic.

Probably because these are usually healthy individuals.
It's unnerving when healthy people die.
In Texas, high school athletes have to pass a physical. But many of the arrhythmias can be hard to detect, or may appear after the individual was tested.

There can be other reasons for this.
For example, what if it's because athletes were no longer screen tested because hospitals were too busy treating covid patients? Athletes who would otherwise be disallowed to participate in sports were no longer allowed.

Would love to see the underlying data instead of the graphs.

i agree that the last one is the most important - meta analyses should always occupy a higher place on the quality of evidence scale.

im not sure you're correct about the date.

the first was published in 2022 but is from data in 2020 and compared to 2019.
the second used data from 2020.
the third also used 2020.
the fourth was march 2020 to jan 2021.
the fifth was jan 20 2020 to dec 9 2020.

Thanks,
Ok at first glance, that data is terrible.
I'm not even a data scientist and can find obvious flaws.

For one, it could just be that the deaths are higher because there is better health care reporting post Covid).
We don't know the vaccination status on most of these, so it could be that most of the people dying are unvaccinated. Or they could be completely vaccinated. There's no way to tell.

The source is Peter McCullough, et al....not the woman who shared it. Besides, since when does someone need an impeccable track record to speak truth anyway? Don't some on here worship entities that have been sued for record amounts of criminal damages and fraud? I thought it was a badge of honor.
