Myocarditis after Covid-19 Vaccination in a Large Health Care Organization

Guy Witberg et al.

Summary: Among 2.5 million patients who received the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in a large Israeli health care system, the incidence of myocarditis at 42 days was 2.13 cases per 100,000 persons, with the highest incidence (10.69 per 100,000 persons) among male patients between the ages of 16 and 29 years. Most cases of myocarditis were mild or moderate.

Trends in Acute Myocarditis Related Pediatric Hospitalizations in the United States, 2007-2016

Rhythm Vasudeva et al.

Summary: This study found that the incidence of pediatric acute myocarditis in the United States has been increasing annually, while the in-hospital mortality rate has been decreasing. The occurrence of congestive heart failure remained stable, while hospitalization costs have been increasing annually with stable length of stay. Future studies are needed to investigate long-term outcomes related to acute myocarditis.

Diagnosis and Management of Myocarditis in Children A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Yuk M. Law et al.

Summary: Myocarditis remains a clinical challenge in pediatrics, with diagnostic focus shifting from endomyocardial biopsy to clinical suspicion and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The presentation of myocarditis varies widely, ranging from minimal symptoms to severe complications like heart failure or cardiogenic shock. Despite advances in understanding and management, the lack of a universally accepted definition for myocarditis hinders progress in targeted therapy.

Symptomatic Acute Myocarditis in 7 Adolescents After Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccination

Mayme Marshall et al.

Summary: This report presents 7 cases of acute myocarditis or myopericarditis in healthy male adolescents following the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccination, with patients rapidly recovering their symptoms through treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, intravenous immunoglobulin, and corticosteroids. The potential association between vaccine administration and myocarditis requires further monitoring and investigation.

Myocarditis following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination

Saif Abu Mouch et al.

Summary: This study reported six cases of myocarditis occurring shortly after BNT162b2 vaccination, all in young males with mild clinical course. All patients responded to the vaccine, and myocarditis post-BNT162b2 vaccination may be considered an adverse reaction.

Myocarditis Following Immunization With mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Members of the US Military

Jay Montgomery et al.

Summary: This study investigated cases of myocarditis occurring in male patients within the US Military Health System after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines between January and April 2021. A total of 23 male patients presented with acute chest pain within 4 days post-vaccination, with elevated troponin levels and findings consistent with myocarditis on imaging. The number of cases observed was higher than expected after a second dose of the vaccine among male military members.

Patients With Acute Myocarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination

Han W. Kim et al.

Summary: This study described 7 patients with acute myocarditis, 4 of whom had received mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. All patients presented with severe chest pain, biomarker evidence of myocardial injury, and were hospitalized. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings were typical for myocarditis. Further investigation is needed to determine associations of COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis.
