Myocarditis in the Setting of Recent COVID-19 Vaccination

We report three patients who presented with chest pain after receiving either the BNT162b2 Pfizer/BioNTech or mRNA-1273 Moderna/NIH vaccine. Clinical presentation, biomarker, and cardiac MRI supported myocarditis. It is imperative that potential side effects of COVID-19 vaccine are reported to impro...

Description
Summary:We report three patients who presented with chest pain after receiving either the BNT162b2 Pfizer/BioNTech or mRNA-1273 Moderna/NIH vaccine. Clinical presentation, biomarker, and cardiac MRI supported myocarditis. It is imperative that potential side effects of COVID-19 vaccine are reported to improve our knowledge about COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines.
