Abstract
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have serious side effects, including myocarditis; it’s an uncommon but dangerous side effect following mRNA-based COVID-19 immunization. Herein we report a 45-year-old female presenting with myocarditis seven days after the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, yet to recover three months later with guideline-directed medical treatment. COVID-19-associated myocarditis was evaluated and treated similarly to typical myocarditis with reduced ejection fraction heart failure, after exhausting other possible different etiologies. Here we illustrate various causes of myocarditis, contrasting diagnostic approaches, prognosis, and solidating management guidelines.
