Healthy MSNBC anchor returns to TV in weeks, announcing she has been hospitalized with myocarditis

Yasmine Vossougian used the MSNCB broadcast to announce her recent diagnosis on Saturday.

The 44-year-old weekend news anchor began the story by explaining that over the course of about 2 weeks, she began to experience chest pain that worsened over time. Eventually, Vossugyan’s symptoms progressed to the point where she believed she was having a heart attack.

Vossogian noted how healthy she was.

“I want to remind you that I run seven miles three or four times a week, at least I ran. I do yoga. I do not eat meat. I do not smoke. I drink from time to time … apart from the fact that I probably do not get enough sleep and work too much, I am a pretty healthy person, ”she said.

“But that day I was not like that at all.”

It turned out that Vossogian suffered from pericarditis, or inflammation of the lining of the heart. Vossougian claimed that the condition was caused by the common cold. Doctors had to drain the fluid around her heart to keep it from beating.

Just a few days after leaving the hospital, the host’s symptoms returned, but worse this time. Then she was given another diagnosis: myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle itself. This, too, Vossogian attributed to the common cold.

“At the end of the day, it was still the cold that caused all this inflammation in and around my heart,” she told her viewers.

Vossougian then invited her cardiologist, Dr. Greg Katz, to her show to explain how a cold can cause heart conditions like myocarditis.

In a small number of people, the body’s immune system can overreact to viruses such as the common cold, leading to excessive inflammation, Katz said.

“It’s not unheard of. It is rare, but not the rarest,” he said.

Katz also acknowledged that such overactive immune system responses are happening “a little more frequently this year.”

Concerns about Vossogian’s health come amid reports of similar cases of myocarditis, which seem to occur frequently in young adults in the Western world.

This is known as the “sudden death” phenomenon.

Vinay Prasad and John Mandrola, a hematologist-oncologist and a cardiologist respectively, wrote an article in The Free Press (a new media company founded by Bari Weiss) that deconstructed this phenomenon.

Two doctors believe there is a serious lack of information about the apparent flow of deaths. There are many possible explanations for these, including the negative health effects caused by COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, exaggerated stories of sudden deaths, and possibly the COVID vaccines themselves.

“We don’t know anything about how many deaths from cardiovascular diseases over the past two years can be attributed to vaccines, and not to the harm of isolation or a variety of other causes. It will take painstaking statistical work to establish this,” wrote Prasad and Mandrola.
