Study author Dr. Maria Luisa Lucian, from University Hospital Brussels That: “The findings could help explain why some patients who have been infected continue to suffer with covid-19 of shortness of breath a year after they were infected with the epidemic, as this could be related to a decrease in performance the heart“.
