Odd, I was able to find and read the article online.That's because UTD is a subscription based information service for providers (like me). The summary I provided is a peer-reviewed analysis of the data (which you don't believe or are willingly ignoring). I'll link the references for your medical expertise to review:
You will have to search for the articles, because the links lead to UpToDate. They are easy to find on the web.

Here’s the first paragraph:
“Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; previously referred to as 2019-nCoV). Patients with COVID-19 typically present with symptoms and signs of respiratory tract infection, but cardiac manifestations, including signs of myocardial injury, are common. This topic will discuss cardiac manifestations in adults with COVID-19.”
So, to be clear, even though the introduction paragraph says that cardiac manifestations including signs of myocardial injury are common, you claim that the snippet you posted, without a working link, was a summary of the entire contents of the article you thought I couldn’t access? Should we look at more of the article to see if it’s equally consistent?
