Dr. Zian Tseng has led UCSF’s post-mortem Sudden Cardiac Death study for over a decade. One recent autopsy assessment of a SCD victim revealed multiple positive tissue samples for SCV2 in the brain, lungs, and heart. “An asymptomatic person like this would not have come to seek care, and we’d not have had the ability to study such a person. This may be the type of person that later on develops Long Covid.” The team is also comparing data on SCD victims pre-and post-2020; the most common infections detected in CNS tissue pre-2020 included EBV & HIV-1.
