According to their findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, mild damage is more common than previously thought. Cardiologist Professor Christian Müller talks about the results in an interview. November 2022 Our focus was on rare but relevant effects of the first Covid-19 booster on cardiac muscle cells. Until now, this phenomenon has only been observed passively and has not been actively investigated. This means there was only data concerning severe cases of myocarditis, especially in young men needing hospital treatment.
