Long-term follow-up of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in myocarditis following messenger ribonucleic acid COVID-19 vaccination: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Presently, the association between myocarditis and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination is well established. From the most current data, cases of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination seem to be mild with fast clinical recovery. Nevertheless, the complete resolution of the inflammatory process is still unclear.

Case summary

We report the case of a 13-year-old boy who developed chest pain following the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine with long-term follow-up of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. An electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed progressively ST-segment elevation on the 2nd day of admission with a rapid improvement within 3 hours where only mild ST-segment elevation remained. The peak level of high-sensitivity car
