ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Recent surveillance studies following nationwide mass vaccination are investigating rare complications such as myocarditis, pericarditis, and thromboembolic events related to mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines.SUMMARY:
In the current report, we present an overview of the incidence, clinical presentation and management of post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, and pericarditis in view of the currently available data. Our main focus is directed toward myocarditis. KEY MESSAGES Myocarditis following mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines is rare, more frequently affects younger men <30 years and is usually of mild severity with spontaneous recovery. The overall benefit of mRNA vaccines in terms of protecting from severe Covid-19 infection and associated cardiovascular complications outweighs the risk of postvaccination myocarditis. Currently, there are no dedicated guidelines for patients with postvaccination myocarditis or pericarditis in terms of the frequency of follow-up including clinical assessment, repeated echocardiography, and cardiac resonance imaging. However, follow-up studies in terms of long-term consequences are underway.Palavras-chave
