Acute myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination

Heart muscle inflammations were reported following SARS-CoV-2 messenger ribonucleic acid (RNA) vaccination by the Disease Control Centers in America, and cases of these inflammations reported as adverse effects of this COVID-19 vaccine application increased 1000 times since April 2021. A male individual, 18-year-old received vaccination with mRNA-1273 vaccine, and after a while attended the Emergency Department at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Upon presentation, the patient complained of a history of chest pain, and he had a high troponin level along with new-onset electrocardiogram changes. During his stay in hospital the patient's blood circulation status remained stable, and no evidence of another infectious or immune cases was found. Although these vaccines are a must and very advantageous in fighting COVID-19 and their benefits are far beyond their risks, although it seems that there is a risk of myopericarditis cases. Under such conditions it is essential to rely on early diagnosis for control and deal with the possible cases of morbidity and mortality associated with these conditions.
