COVID-19 is associated with myocardial injury in 7%-23% of cases, though evidence for myocarditis as the specific etiology is currently limited to case reports.
Why the study?
Myocardial injury is relatively common in COVID-19, but discrepancies remain regarding myocarditis as its etiology, with only limited case reports despite numerous anecdotal accounts.

May warrant cardiac monitoring in COVID-19; leaves open myocarditis etiology amid literature discrepancies.
Myocardial injury is common in COVID-19 (7-23%) and clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for myocarditis to improve clinical outcomes.
Pirzada et al. (2020) conducted a review in COVID-19 and Myocarditis. COVID-19 was evaluated. COVID-19 is associated with myocardial injury in 7%-23% of cases, though evidence for myocarditis as the specific etiology is currently limited to case reports.
