Penn State's director of athletic medicine says roughly a third of Big Ten athletes who contracted COVID-19 have shown symptoms of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle.
Wayne Sebastianelli, who is also the team doctor for Penn State football, revealed the findings Monday during a local State College Area School District board of directors meeting. He said cardiac scans of Big Ten athletes with COVID-19 showed "30 to roughly 35% of their heart muscles" indicated symptoms of the condition.
"We really just don’t know what to do with it right now," Sebastianelli said, according to the Centre Daily's Parth Upadhyaya.
