dianelynn, I know some people have different opinions. I do think COVID is responsible in some way in aorta enlargement in some people. It is connected to the heart, which has been documented to have been affected by the virus by inflammation and since the Aorta valve is connected to the heart l don't think inflammation would automatically stop in the heart muscle. I believe the inflammation would enter the valves as well. But that's just my opinion. Also, what caused the sudden death in otherwise healthy young people that never had any heart issues. It's only been
approximately 4 years since the the vaccine came out. Normally it takes years of testing before a vaccine is FDA approved. l believe as more time goes by the evidence will show the damage COVID has done and is continuing to due to people's heart. We may never know the real truth about this. But I wish you the best with your health issues
Take care
I did receive antivirals and antibiotics when I was hospitalized with COVIID Dec 2020. I was deteriorating daily. finally, after receiving a transfusion of COVID antibodies, I began to show improvement. At this time of the pandemic, only healthcare providers and the nuring home residents were able to be vaccinated. I made certain to get my COVID vaccinations as soon as I was eligible and have continued to receive boosters ever since that time. I do not believe I could survice that level of infection again.
