The most most effective way of detecting inflammation in the heart would be through a biopsy, but that's not recommended as a first option for obvious reasons. Biopsies of the placenta looking for spike proteins and inflammation would be a lot easier to do, but I'm unaware of studies. To be fair, I haven't looked into it deeply.

As for less invasive ways to detect inflammation in the body, you could do a hs-CRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein) test, ideally you'd want a result below 1mg/L, and also an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). These are used to detect the presence of general inflammation in the body and can be raised by infections, cancer, autoimmune disease or other factors. You'd be interested in the latter.

To find out if it's the heart that's specifically inflamated, there are cardiac biomarkers you can measure through blood samples in labs; also there's cardiac MRI. I'm just giving out general information for educational purposes, contact your healthcare provider for recommendations.
