Outcomes of Cardiovascular MRI in Patients Recently Recovered From COVID
In this cohort study including 100 patients recently recovered from
COVID-19 identified from a COVID-19 test center, cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging revealed cardiac involvement in 78 patients (78%) and
ongoing myocardial inflammation in 60 patients (60%), which was
independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of
the acute illness, and the time from the original diagnosis.

I like how they mention the pool size of 100, then they explicitly call out
the fact that 78 of them are 78% and 60 of them are 60%. They know their
audience. I meet many people who wouldn't be able to figure out percentages
even if I gave them access to Google.
