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.
Wondering about that myself after having had covid. Something is not quite right a year later.
“Nah, it’s permanently related to it.”
My first thought too. It’s like they’re trying to soften us up for FINALLY telling us the truth.
It normally happens to younger people.
RE: Also Covid itself can cause heart issues
The question is, for the young, which poses a higher risk of heart problems? The vaccined or Covid?
Covid is always higher but not that high
RE: Covid is always higher but not that high
Could you share with us the source for this information?
I have no clue what your point is? He still had approximately 10 years to go in his lucrative career. This cuts a quarter out of it, and pilots make far, far more in their last ten years than they do in their first ten years... You do realize that an airline captain's retirement benefits are a fraction of what they make while they are working? Whatever disability insurance that he had also is not going to make up the difference. He has 5 kids, 3 of them still in college. The entire family is having to make drastic changes to their lifestyle.
Trying to figure out why he would get boosted.
Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it! These days you are no longer considered “vaccinated” if you don't get boosted. And his airline has mandated the vaccines. This was fought by the union but the union lost. He had two options get the booster or be fired. He wasn't sure that his newly discovered heart condition was actually from the vaccine. When he was originally diagnosed none of the doctors said that it was even though it had never been a problem previously. So he got the booster, the same choice that the vast majority of people who are trying to support a family make. Biden and company might as well have put a gun to his head.
The studies they do have are mostly financed by the companies who are now making billions on the vaccines. But even they have found that the problem from the vaccines has created much greater risk of heart problems than any of the current variants do. Some people die of heart disease without taking these failed vaccines... it is no justification for forcing people to take something with known risks that are far greater than what is currently being claimed.
This info came out before the vaccines. The Flu can do the same.
You do understand differences in probabilities? In the lotteries you are a lot more likely to win $5 than $100,000,000. And that is similar to the difference in probabilities between getting a swollen and inflamed heart from the failed “vaccines” as compared to getting the same condition from the flu. Capiche!
Meanwhile our current vaccines are basically worthless as per the Pfizer CEO!
Pfizer CEO: Our Vaccines Offer ‘Limited, If Any Protection’

Speaking during remarks to a J.P. Morgan healthcare conference this week, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla openly stated current vaccines the company developed for Wuhan coronavirus offer “limited, if any” protection against contracting current variants of the disease. He then encouraged booster shots.
The statement from Bourla comes as the Biden administration continues to justify vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors and private businesses. The Supreme Court heard arguments about President Biden’s mandates for private companies and medical workers last week. A ruling is expected soon on the constitutionality of the mandates.
A number of people who have pointed out the waning efficacy of Pfizer’s vaccines, which Bourla touted last year as being “100 percent” effective against contracting or transmitting the virus, have been banned by social media companies.

“Importantly, we also demonstrated that across the entire vaccinated population in England, the risk of myocarditis following vaccination was small compared to the risk following a positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test [1]. “
“However, the risk of myocarditis following vaccination is consistently higher in younger males , particularly following a second dose of RNA mRNA-1273 vaccine.”
What it doesn’t say is
However, the risk of myocarditis is higher following vaccination than the risk of myocarditis from a Covid infection
As a matter of fact, it says myocarditis is more likely from Covid than the vaccine.
RE: it says myocarditis is more likely from Covid than the vaccine.
Yes, for the general population. But it is of concern for younger male folks. That’s why mandating vaccines for this group has to be taken with caution.
Myocarditis is more of a problem for younger people anyway and that was happening before the vaccines.
This study tells us that the Covid vaccines are TEMPORALLY related to the Covid-19 vaccines.
This study tells us that suspected myocarditis are TEMPORALLY related to the Covid-19 vaccines.
The observations in this study has also been observed in studies in Hong Kong. See here:

Conclusions: There is a significant increase in the risk of acute myocarditis/pericarditis following Comirnaty vaccination among Chinese male adolescents, especially after the second dose.
