The findings were hinted at at the end of August, when Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli, the director of athletic medicine at Penn State, said during a discussion with school board members that 30 percent of Big Ten athletes who had COVID-19 showed signs of the condition, an inflammation in the heart muscle.Scott Gilbert, a spokesman for Penn State Health, told NBC News that Sebastianelli had misstated the findings at the time and apologized for any confusion.
In fact, the new study was conducted by doctors at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, who were considering the safest ways to send athletes back in the fall. Ultimately, the Big Ten Conference, which includes both Ohio State and Penn State, decided against playing this fall. “We were asked this question as to what would be the safest way to send them back to competitive play,” study co-author Dr. Saurabh Rajpal, a cardiologist at Ohio State, said.
To study the virus’s effects on the heart, the athletes had several tests as well as a cardiac MRI to image the heart.Sign Up
This has been debunked. Retract please.
aparanjape So what does this mean? Surely the elite athletes & footballers and their medial staff would have thought of this else how r they being allowed to play? Or is this only for ppl Who r into running ?
🔶To all those 'Nay sayers' out there who feel Covid 19 is nothing!!! I say you better watch out!🚨 Warning🚨This is a lung segment taken from a deceased patient. Their immune system burned the lungs and Covid made blod clots! Think!😷
So, 22 out of 26 were fine? Why not say THAT?
I'm a college graduate and I have no idea what I am looking at.
October surprise from the Democratic strategists: Use the kids in public schools as a pawn and roll out Mass testing for Covid and produce 'positive' results to create more panic.
RealDonaldTrump needs to make them play. These athletes will just grow up to be protesters anyways. MAGA NFLboycott BoycottNFL NCAAFootball
Where was the control group?
Athletes who may have already had it before they got COVID - no mention of checking for this pre-COVID diagnosis in the study. Athletes who also take supplements that elevate heart rate and blood pressure. Medications taken may also have an impact. No mention of this either.
The question I would like to know is did they have images of their hearts before to compare to?
Greetings I humbly request assistance in completing a survey on the mental health and wellbeing of Adults during COVID-19 pandemic. Your participation would be highly appreciated🙏🏽 Please kindly like and retweet🙏🏽😘 covid19SA mentalhealth
Trump lied & allowed COVID to spread to 6+MILLION AMERICANS so that he “didn’t cause panic”, though! I mean, lifelong health issues for 6+Million of us...while he’s trying to take away ACA (Pre-existing conditions)... was surely the better option. 👀🤔🤯
“Rajpal cautioned that the study was small, and more research is needed to confirm whether COVID-19 contributed to the athletes’ myocarditis.”
Shouldn’t have went to those parties
Maybe we could drink until we fell over and virus would not get them. I read I 1918-1919 5 men survived they drank booze they found in shed.
Without also stating: X out of Y college athletes had signs of heart inflammation REGARDLESS OF CORONAVIRUS STATUS, it's hard to interpret that stat in any meaningful way. MATH
Old news. Common cold, flu do that forever
Certainly a risk factor worth taking so older white guys can be entertained in front of their television! Bring on the faux patriotism and machismo, let's see some NCAA sanctioned brutality!
We have learned a lot in 5 months
26 out of 26 had heart inflammation after reading your ZERO INTEGRITY reporting.

U mean SleazyTrump LIED abt kids being 'immune' 2 COVID19 pandemic MAGA folks gotta be told...o wait....they already know & dont care So crazy I almost forgot
Jesus, have we forgotten basic math. Simplify this down to 2-13. 4-26? foh
now that's needs
Guess big money thinks it’s worth it. True test what will Big Ten, PAC Twelve do. They have the science - nothing’s changed, except Trump’s pressure campaign. Do we really care about these young men ?
Well the left killed sports, so who cares, let em get a desk job like the rest of us.
WeNN | Effect and Cause Small study. [meaningless] 4 out of 26 athletes [what about other students ?] recovering from corona [asymptomatic infection ?] Do other substances found in proximity to college athletes cause inflammation ? Ignorant or disingenuous ?
wsfa12news I thought small studies weren’t considered scientifically sound. Oh, my bad. That’s just when Trump references one. Sorry. Carry on.
What size was their heart before? How can they know if they don’t have the original
4 de 26 atletas universitarios tenían signos de inflamación cardíaca después de recuperarse del coronavirus, encuentra un pequeño estudio.
Also myocarditis occurs with flu, parasites, etc. They do not mention how common these findings are in other infections.They hav3 to keep the fear going.
And Trump lied to all of us about COVID-19!
Small study? Like Zero Integrity NBC lunch room study?
A small study finds that 4 of 26 have a condition that *might* be associated with coronavirus and often goes away on its own Gotta keep the fear level high, huh?
This is right from the playbook. Deaths down so “long term effects” will be the tune now.
Maybe tell that to the crowds of fsufootball students huddled in the stadium or after parties and the Miami University students party while having Covid.
NBCが怖がらせてどうする？
this was always how it was going to be, so, let's for one second say the school athletes get heart inflammation, now multiply that out by the regular non sport students being exposed to covid19, and you've got yourself a generation of crippled americans
Inept study
Inflammation = immune response prednisone anticoagulents
Now do flu. Myocarditis associated with viral infections is not new. Stop trying to scare everyone.
Fake news
So than is it safe to say that this could be deemed a control group and 4 out of every 26 covid patients In general experience this or only athletes? Because maybe no one should exercise ever again.
I’m curious if they were ever checked for heart inflammation before they contracted the virus?
They weren't treated early with HCQ, ZINC, and a broad spectrum antibiotic. Anti-inflammatory drugs WORK fast. This inexpensive and safe therapeutic(s) was withheld BECAUSE the GMO ChinaVirus was supposed to KILL and KILL and KILL... NWO fail. Beware, they'll try again.
Or a weekend bender...
Myocarditis is usually caused from an infection that has made its way to the heart muscle, such as a viral infection (the most common) or a bacterial, parasitic, or fungal infection. Happens with influenza. Do we freak out about that? Put it into perspective.
Chronic illness is nothing to take lightly. People are focused only on “deaths”, totally disregarding the effect on quality of life.
Yawn...
Wow! Large sample size
How many of them had symptomless myocarditis before testing pos for COVID? No one knows b/c no one looks. Myocarditis can be caused by various viruses, environment, immune probs, usually resolves on its own. Unless you MRI all hearts before and after, your control group is false
Why arn't you 'journalists' interviewing this women? Why do I have to see this news from U.K. media? Is she a narrative buster?
Let's wait for 'the big' study. Enough panic in the nation already NBC. Stoke it baby. There's $$$$ in it. Right NBC?
ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS SHOULD QUIT FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND. Stop subjecting your brain and body to injuries for a stadium half full with racist white people. Play football for people who say your life doesn't matter? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? Love yourself Value yourself
Did they have images of the hearts before the virus? How do they know there wasn’t inflammation before?
Imagine that if you never had the thought that is disturbing you - would you be disturbed? It is attachment to your own thoughts that have now been clearly identified as conceptual fabrications that are the cause of your suffering.
That’s called steroids use
And still the college parties continue.
And they're finding damage in asymptomatic carriers. If we don't know long term damage how can we send our kids to school?
Put it this way: 1 in 5 COLLEGE ATHLETES i.e. in their absolute physical fitness prime. You’re an idiot to scoff at and ignore this reality.
Fact Check: Study finds this is a lie.
18 out of 26 suffered heart inflammation occasionally before the Chinavirus. Add heart inflammation to the extraordinarily long list of ailments and diseases that Chinavirus cures.
But yet the orange buffoon is pushing the Big 10 to “play football”!
They need to shut up and play so we can have an economy. Lol.
4 out of 26 isn’t even news worthy. I wouldn’t have even published my findings with a pool of 26 people lmao
None died
awesome

VERY small study
So desperate. So Pathetic. So Obvious.
Main reason I mostly stay in the house, that side effect could be fatal for me.
'Suggest' ? 'Signs' ? 'small study' ? Well a 'Large Study by the entire world indicates that puts out alot of.fakeNews OnPurpose
🥱🥱🥱🙄
Meow!!
Athletes, especially endurance athletes show symptoms of this normally.
Very important read this now. Organ damage effects are severe. Even though you survived COVID19 initially. Lingering side effects may lead to Chronic diseases. Aka preexisting conditions and no Healthcare for you.
Trump preaches faux patriotism, that labels American military personnel (disproportionate 's of African American & Latino volunteers) as 'losers' & 'suckers.' One that allows for the deaths of close to 200,000 people because Trump disregarded & purposefully downplayed COVID-19
Cleavon_MD This virus inhibits antibody immune response, leading to mild symptoms that coincide with a more widespread infection. Normal immune response is high fever, but the virus is contained. By the time T-cells fight off this virus, significant damage is done. Deadly during winter.
Does anyone expect the same legacy issues to happen w children? Good to know if they are going to school
As a college student with covid this is not what I wanted to read
Cleavon_MD If this is different from the study that was printed in jama a few weeks ago you should say so. I think people will just see jama/football/cardiac and say 'we already know that was wrong'.
Hi guys, if you are worried about buying a mask, I suggest you go to ishopzone. They have a wide range of masks, great quality and FDA certification. In the U.S. region, it takes only 3-7 days to receive orders. You can search for ishopzone directly on Google
😵
Still not getting mass mail ballots. 🤷🏾♂️
Ugh.
That is due to stress caused by the terror caused by msm like NBC
Yikes
Does it get fixed?
So?
It means ... it is maimed for life once you got the COVID19
18 out of 26 got it occasionally before covid. Add heart inflammation to the extraordinary long list of diseases covid magically cures.
Dystopia - noun - an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic.
Coaches are always looking for players with a lot of heart...
Oh, please.
As Dirty Harry would say, 'Swell.'
Big yikes...
esaagar If you did some investigation into the claims from Penn State you’d know he walked his statement back to he made it up based on other reporting. So if your story came from his findings it False!
Cardiologists/thoracic radiologists who interpret cardiac MRIs have been calling this bullshit for weeks.
For those not reading the article and asking :'Dr. Ali Nsair, director of sports cardiology at UCLA, said that the findings were abnormal even for an athlete.'
It's weird that republicans are so intent on disproving every single piece of data related to covid, regardless off the source. It seems like the only source republicans will trust is Trump. Which is ironic due to Trump's frequency of lying and exaggerating
detroit_rachel The virus seems to permanently damage the heart and lungs, even in healthy patients. StaySafe StaySafeStayHealthy WearAMask
esaagar What about the hearts of non athletes? If the same result, then it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or not.
Leftstream media won't be satisfied until Americans are all living in boxes.
Not a surprise. Research showed that COVID totally destroyed heart tissue in petri dish. The virus isn't gone, folks, and it's dangerous still! MASK UP!! Follow guidelines. COVID is still with us!!
