Why the study?
Rare cases of myocarditis, pericarditis, or other cardiovascular involvement have been reported following the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, but its natural course remains unclear.
Myocardial fibrosis associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis may show partial resolution on MRI at five months.
May warrant vigilance for post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis; leaves open its natural course and management.
Myocarditis is a disease that has varying degrees of clinical manifestations. Furthermore, its diagnosis and management can pose as a challenge to clinicians. With over 250 million people receiving the mRNA covid vaccine, there have been rare reports of myocarditis, pericarditis or other cardiovascular involvement. However, its natural course remains unclear.
