Loading ...Myocarditis/heart test?
Hi all – I believe it was here that I saw this info but can’t find it now. Someone posted an article that talked about a specific heart test that the V’ed should ask their docs for. Does anyone recall the name of that test? Much thanks
I think that you might be referring to a D-Dimer Test to check for blood clots. See link.

Yes – the d-dimer was one of the two tests that should be requested but I can’t recall the name of the 2nd one either.
It is a blood test that determines the level of natural immunity in the body — does anyone remember the name of this one??
I would not be surprised if BOTH of these tests are not funded by the gov’t as they don’t want citizens finding out these answers — so there may be out of pocket expenses to have them done. Also perhaps ask your doctor if they will be penalized for ordering these tests so you understand the implications of asking. I’ve heard rumours of on-line clinics that “specialize” in COVID and can authorize tests remotely.
I think that this might be what you are referring to…
There is a blood test that measures the strength of you immune system to fight off Covid. It is called “dqTACT”

Thank you! Ill note the suggestion re: ordering test online.. Its not for me but family friend..
D-Dimer and Troponin blood tests are the two you refer to.
The first for micro blood clots, the second for heart muscle damage.
thank you
