Myocarditis in children after COVID-19 vaccine

Abstract

Three healthy adolescents presented with myocarditis confirmed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after receiving Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. All patients were hemodynamically stable and had good short-term outcomes. Long-term outcomes are yet to be determined. Larger studies are needed to determine whether an association between Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and myocarditis exists.
