Cardiac MRI Findings in Male Patients with Acute Myocarditis in the Presence or Absence of COVID-19 Vaccination

By comparing phenotypic clinical characteristics and cardiovascular MRI findings in 14 patients with mRNA COVID-19 vaccine–associated myocarditis to those in 14 patients with acute myocarditis from other causes, we found that patients with COVID-19 vaccination–associated acute myocarditis have highe...

Descripción
Sumario:By comparing phenotypic clinical characteristics and cardiovascular MRI findings in 14 patients with mRNA COVID-19 vaccine–associated myocarditis to those in 14 patients with acute myocarditis from other causes, we found that patients with COVID-19 vaccination–associated acute myocarditis have higher left ventricular ejection fraction, higher left ventricular global circumferential and radial strain, and less involvement of late gadolinium enhancement in the septal segments with less involvement of midmyocardial pattern of late gadolinium enhancement, compared with patients with acute myocarditis from other causes.
