COVID-19-Induced Myocarditis and mRNA Vaccine-Related Pericarditis: A Case Report

Acute inflammatory cardiac disease is an increasing cause of COVID-19 vaccine-induced complications. We report a case of acute pericarditis following the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) in a 49-year-old woman with previous COVID-19-induced myocarditis and heart failure. A clinical pre...

description Acute inflammatory cardiac disease is an increasing cause of COVID-19 vaccine-induced complications. We report a case of acute pericarditis following the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2) in a 49-year-old woman with previous COVID-19-induced myocarditis and heart failure. A clinical presentation compatible with acute decompensated heart failure elevated troponin levels and a cardiac-MRI showing myocardial fibrosis and inflammatory pericardial effusion led to the diagnosis of perimyocarditis. She was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and colchicine. Her condition improved in eight days. Physicians should be aware of the possible diagnosis of pericarditis and/or a myocardial injury after COVID-19 infection and vaccination.
