COVID vaccine-associated myocarditis was first identified in March 2021. There have been numerous case reports that detail the clinical course of paediatric patients older than age 12 with COVID vaccine-associated myocarditis. There are still very few reports of children between the ages of 5 and 11 with COVID vaccine-associated myocarditis. We pre...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to cause cardiovascular complications including myocarditis, pericardial effusion, pericarditis, and arrhythmias. With the introduction of the vaccine, there have been reports of myocarditis possibly associated with the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. We report a case of cardiac involvement following the...
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant loss of life and severe disability, justifying the expedited testing and approval of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines. While found to be safe and effective, there have been increasing reports of myocarditis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccine administration. The acute events have been severe enough to require admis...

Vaccine-associated myocarditis is becoming increasingly documented as a complication of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination platform. This complication so far has been found to predominantly affect the younger male population within seven days of receiving the second dose of an mRNA vaccine. We present a case of a 45-year-old male fou...

Myocarditis was recently described as one of the complications secondary to COVID-19 vaccination. We present a 38-year-old lady diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis a few days after receiving the mRNA-1273 vaccine. We also summarize what is reported in the literature about the association between COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis. In concl...
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-induced myocarditis possibly share common mechanisms secondary to overactivation of the immune system. We aimed to compare the presenting characteristics of ICIs and COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis. We performed a retrospective analysis of characteristics of pati...

Myocarditis is now recognized as a rare complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccination, particularly in adolescent and young adult males. Since the authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech™ and Moderna™ mRNA vaccines targeting the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, the Centers for Disease C...

Background : In May 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration expanded the Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Vaccine (BNT162b2) to include adolescents 12–15 years of age. As vaccine administration continues to increase, potential adverse outcomes, to include myocarditis, are being reporte...

17-year-old male presented with COVID-19 vaccine-associated myocarditis. Six months later, due to chest discomfort with exercise, the patient underwent an exercise stress test that revealed a 3-beat run of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia at 230 bpm at peak exercise. The long-term outcomes of COVID-19 vaccine-associated myocarditis are unclear....

According to recent literatures, myocarditis is an uncommon side effect of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19. On the other hand, myocarditis after adenovirus based vaccine is rarely reported. Here we report a middle-aged healthy female who had acute fulminant perimyocarditis onset 2 days after the first dose of ChAdOx1 vaccine (AstraZeneca) without an...
