Article - Sudden Cardiac Death During Play: What to Know About Athletes Dying of Heart Attacks
It’s known that getting COVID-19 increases the risk of developing myocarditis. This condition can lead to heart attack as well as add inflammation to the body, which could increase any preexisting issues. Myocarditis is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. A 2021 observational study involving 1,597 athletes who had COVID-19 found that 37 of them (2.3%Trusted Source) had diagnosable myocarditis and possible myocarditis. A 2022 study found this rate to be higher — 4%Trusted Source — for athletes who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) testing. Knowing that COVID-19 increases the risk of myocarditis and other cardiac conditions, the American College of Cardiology recommends cardiac screening for all athletes who have cardiopulmonary symptoms before they return to play.
