Wouldn't the cardiologists be able to scan your arteries and see they are inflamed ? Honest question ?

They must have some way of doing this because how else do they know to prescribe stents ?

It may be subclinical inflammation in some/most patients. Just because something is inflamed/there is an inflammatory process, doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily be bad enough to get picked up by the standard examinations or tests. I had long-lasting palpitations after COVID, despite completely normal ambulatory ECG and repeated echocardiograms. Took around 2-3 years to settle down to almost pre-COVID levels today.
