    its me, a guy in his 30s who, since covid, has a new permanent heart issue that luckily is fairly mild

    but the real fun is there is no way to know if i got it from covid or just recently found out about it even though studies have shown it being more prevalent in young people with covid

    but at least i live in america so any health costs involved with it are all out of pocket so thats neat

      Acquired atrial fibrillation prior to age, let's say 55, is such a red flag for pulmonary pathology (sleep apnea, fibrosis, pneumonia, etc) I almost feel obligated to prove there isn't any underlying pulmonary issue when I see those patients.

      Some people are just born with the Ford Pinto of cardiac electrophysiology, but that's a huge, separate and largely esoteric topic.

            Not to my knowledge, no, but everyone in my family on both sides have pretty bad heart/circulatory issues. A few have had the catheter ablation procedure however.
