Myocarditis cases were classified as confirmed or probable based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions.
Suspected myocarditis occurred in 136 patients (97.8%) following mRNA vaccine, with 131 (94.2%) following the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine; 128 (91.4%) occurred after the 2nd dose. Symptoms started a median of 2 days (range 0-22, IQR 1-3) after vaccination. The most common symptom was chest pain (99.3%). Patients were treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (81.3%), intravenous immunoglobulin (21.6%), glucocorticoids (21.6%), colchicine (7.9%) or no anti-inflammatory therapies (8.6%). Twenty-six patients (18.7%) were in the ICU, two were treated with inotropic/vasoactive support, and none required ECMO or died. Median hospital stay was 2 days (range 0-10, IQR 2-3).
All patients had elevated troponin I (N=111, 8.12 ng/mL, IQR 3.50-15.90) or T (N=28, 0.61 ng/mL, IQR 0.25-1.30); 69.8% had abnormal electrocardiograms and/or arrythmias (7 with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia); and 18.7% had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <55% on echocardiogram.
Of 97 patients who underwent cMRI at median 5 days (range 0-88, IQR 3-17) from symptom onset, 75 (77.3%) had abnormal findings: 74 (76.3%) had late gadolinium enhancement, 54 (55.7%) had myocardial edema, and 49 (50.5%) met Lake Louise criteria. Among 26 patients with LVEF <55% on echocardiogram, all with follow-up had normalized function (N=25).
Future studies should evaluate risk factors, mechanisms, and long-term outcomes.

Nah, it’s permanently related to it.
At some point, they will tell us that the arrhythmic heart beat is permanent, which I believe to be the case. At least for some.
we will be told the AHA has no idea what they are talking about
An honest description of “mild” would be nice. We were told that “mild” covid symptoms meant just about anything short of needing ventilation. Now we have mild heart inflammation that puts you in the hospital and it’s great.
They were discharged, but being discharged just means they didn’t need to be in the hospital any longer. Lots of sick people get around outside of hospitals because they don’t need immediate care. It doesn’t mean they’re well.
What is life like afterwards: are they fully back to normal? Do they still have to take medication and for how long? Can the young men go back to lifting weights and playing sports or is their activity restricted and to what and for how long? How permanent is it? Could it flare up in the future if they overexert themselves? Could it simply get worse in the background until it manifests as a heart attack or something?
Some people have had chest pains after the vaccine that their doctors just told them not to worry about, or didn’t show up on the scan, or for which they haven’t sought medical treatment. What is the likelihood of an untreated post-vax chest pain deteriorating into a serious condition?
Two words that should never be seen together.
Each of us has one heart and we can’t live without it.
If it is damaged it usually doesn’t get better.
If it doesn’t work well quality of life suffers greatly.
Info like this come out and they defend these so call vaccines all the louder.
After a couple of months the airline was having to cancel hundreds of flights because of a shortage of pilots. He was told to go to a flight surgeon in a different state and that doctor returned him to service. After a couple months someone at the airline told him that he needed his “booster”. Within two days after getting it he started having chest pain. When he had it checked out, he was told that his problem was much worse than before and now his aorta was enlarged as well as his heart. He now truly is never going to fly again.
This problem is not uncommon, and it is not just happening in young men.
Suppose they get a different coronavirus infection? Would they be predisposed for myocarditis from that?
It’s just a “minor” heart infection.
/S
I am sure that they are qualified experts.
Experts that put their ideology before their professional integrity.

There is no such thing as “temporary myocarditis.” Destroyed heart cells do not regenerate, they are replaced with scar tissue and a heart that is weakened for life.
RE: There is no such thing as “temporary myocarditis.”
The title says TEMPORALLY, not Temporary ( I don’t blame you, I first read it as temporary myself ).

Other vaccines can cause this as well. Also Covid itself can cause heart issues
Was he denied retirement benefits after onset of 1st problems? Trying to figure out why he would get boosted.
Did you know FAA regulations demand any treatment be out for a year before FAA can consider it for use in pilots. Except for covid…
