New hope for long COVID heart damage: trial tests combo therapy to halt progression

NCT ID NCT05619653

Summary

This study is testing whether a combination of two existing drugs can protect the heart in people with Long COVID who have developed heart inflammation. Researchers will give 279 participants either the active medication or a placebo for 16 weeks to see if it reduces symptoms like exercise intolerance and prevents the heart damage from worsening. The main goal is to see if the treatment improves the heart's pumping ability and stops progression toward heart failure.
