MyocarditisIn 1963, Douglas Reye and colleagues [1] published a detailed description of 21 patients who developed a mys-terious illness. Notable features included encephalopathy and fatty liver degeneration, generally occurring within several days after the appearance of respiratory symp-toms; yet, only...
Can the COVID-19 Vaccine Cause Heart Inflammation? Yes, but experts aren’t sure what the link is. Only about 1,600 cases have been reported of COVID vaccine-related myocarditis as of September 2021. Most of these cases occurred: In adolescent and young adult males 16 years or older Afte...
Again, currently, even after the second dose of vaccine, myocarditis appears to be a rare event.Skeptical Raptorcurrently doesn’t think that there is a link between these vaccines and myocarditis while I am a little more concerned, but we both leave our minds open to the possibility as more...
COVID-19 vaccine-associated myocarditis (C-VAM) has a mild initial clinical course, but myocardial injury is common, according to a studypublishedonline in the October issue ofeClinicalMedicine. Supriya S. Jain, M.D., from New York Medical College-Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westcheste...
We performed a detailed literature search of PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, medRxiv, and Cochrane electronic medical databases containing reports of either COVID-19 myocarditis or its vaccine-related myocarditis. The following medical search (MeSH) terms: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, myocarditis, myopericarditis...
COVID-19has significantly affected heart health, particularly increasing myocarditis cases. Vaccination risks for myocarditis are substantially lower than those from infection, with health bodies supporting vaccination despite potential risks, highlighting the mild nature of most vaccine-related myocarditis ca...
Furthermore, we included adolescents since this group has been shown to be higher risk of COVID-19 vaccine related myocarditis [7]. Our study has several limitations. Firstly, our study represents a predominantly Chinese population and therefore results may not be generalisable to different ethnic ...
Further details from multiple cases of myocarditis linked to the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID vaccines have been described in recent papers in the medical literature.
The CDC in June concluded that the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks of vaccine-caused myocarditis, even in the most at risk group. The new study's authors wrote that the new data backed up that claim. The benefits of vaccination increase when community transmission of COVI...
Rare cases of myocarditis have been reported afterCOVID-19vaccination, but the risk is higher after infection, and the prognosis is better following vaccine-related myocarditis. The decision to vaccinate should consider factors like patient age, health problems, and community COV...
