COVID-19 and myocarditis: a systematic review and overview of current challenges

Teresa Castiello et al.

Summary: Myocardial inflammation in COVID-19 is documented, with a unclear frequency and prognostic impact of COVID-19-mediated myocarditis. Current evidence suggests myocardial inflammation with different pathophysiology mechanisms. Large multicentre registries may help further elucidate this issue.

Acute myocarditis after a second dose of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: a report of two cases

Joseph Mansour et al.

Summary: We report two cases of myocarditis, occurring in two young and previously healthy individuals, temporally associated with the second dose of the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine. Both patients presented with acute chest pain, changes on electrocardiogram (ECG), and elevated serum troponin levels within two days of receiving their second dose. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings were consistent with acute myocarditis.

mRNA vaccine-elicited antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and circulating variants

Zijun Wang et al.

Summary: Volunteers who received the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine showed high levels of antibodies and memory B cell responses against SARS-CoV-2, with activity similar to individuals who had recovered from natural infection. However, their efficacy against specific SARS-CoV-2 variants was reduced, indicating a potential need for periodic updates to mRNA vaccines to maintain clinical efficacy.

Summary: The messenger RNA vaccine candidate BNT162b1, encoding the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, showed safety and high levels of humoral and T cell responses in an Asian population, including younger and older Chinese adults. Local reactions and systemic events post-vaccination were generally dose-dependent, transient, and mild to moderate.

Myocarditis With COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines

Biykem Bozkurt et al.

Summary: Myocarditis is a rare complication of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, predominantly affecting young adult and adolescent males, with most patients showing improvement in symptoms. Possible mechanisms include molecular mimicry between viral proteins and self-antigens, dysregulated immune pathways, immune response to mRNA, and dysregulated cytokine expression.

Summary: This study conducted interim analysis of safety surveillance data of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and found that the incidence of selected serious outcomes within 1-21 days post-vaccination was not significantly higher compared with 22-42 days post-vaccination. Surveillance is ongoing despite wide confidence intervals for many outcomes.

Summary: This study described a group of adolescents who developed perimyocarditis following vaccination with the coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine. All cases were mild and none required cardiovascular or respiratory support, but only long-term follow-up can reveal the true impact. The study calls for more comprehensive data collection on a wider scale to analyze potential adverse reactions.

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.

Summary: This study reviewed comprehensive cardiac imaging results in children with myocarditis after receiving the BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine. Most cases of myocarditis occurred in boys after the second dose, and patients showed mild symptoms in short-term follow-up. Long-term risks of post-vaccination myocarditis remain unknown, necessitating larger studies for vaccination recommendations in this population.
