Implication

May suggest COVID-19 myocarditis exacerbates mitral prolapse; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

2 patients (a male in his late 40s, vaccinated, and a female in her late 20s, unvaccinated) with a history of asymptomatic mild mitral valve prolapse who developed worsening (severe) mitral prolapse and NYHA class III-IV symptoms after COVID-19 exposure with MRI evidence of myocarditis.

Intervention

6-month heart failure therapy followed by mitral valve surgery

Outcome

Symptom severity and mitral regurgitation severity

COVID-19 related myocarditis may exacerbate pre-existing mild mitral valve prolapse, leading to severe symptomatic mitral regurgitation requiring surgical intervention despite medical therapy.
