The CDC has reported higher-than-usual cases of myocarditis after vaccination, overwhelmingly in young men under 30.

So far 226 cases of myocarditis have been reported in men under 30 where the CDC was expected fewer than 100 cases for this age group.

Problems are most common after the second dose of an mRNA vaccine but the CDC said more research is necessary to determine if the vaccine is the cause of the problem.

Teenagers and people in their early 20s accounted for more than half of the myocarditis cases reported to the CDC’s safety monitoring systems following Covid-19 vaccination, despite representing a fraction of people who have received the shots.

Evidence grows stronger for Covid vaccine link to heart issue, CDC says

Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle. Most cases were mild and went away on their own. Fifteen patients are still hospitalized with three still in the ICU.

The CDC is investigating whether the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine could be linked to recent cases of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle.

Around a dozen cases of myocarditis have been reported after receiving the vaccine although the CDC has not yet found a link. It will likely take the CDC weeks or months to determine if there is a link.

There aren’t any known long-term effects from mild cases. During the CDC investigation, they’ll be looking for more potential cases and whether any other factors could have caused the condition.

The cases generally occurred within four days of receiving the second dose of the vaccine and were most common in young and adolescent men.

A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Cardiology has found that nearly 80 percent of COVID patients sustained heart damage.

The research was conducted by Germany’s University Hospital Frankfurt. Researchers examined the MRI scans of 100 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19. Most of the patients were said to be otherwise healthy and in their 40s and 50s.

More than three out of four of the patients showed heart muscle damage with an MRI test.

In some patients, the heart may be “in serious trouble as a part of COVID-19 disease,” Dr. Valentina Puntmann of University Hospital Frankfurt told Reuters. Among 100 patients ages 45 to 53, “a considerable majority” – 78 – had inflammation in the heart muscle and lining. Sixty-seven had recovered at home while 33 had required hospitalization. Half of the former patients were more than two months out since their diagnosis at the time of the MRI. Thirty-six patients reported ongoing shortness of breath and general exhaustion, and 71 had blood markers of heart muscle damage. Compared with similar people who had not had COVID-19, the recently recovered patients’ hearts pumped more weakly and displayed other risk factors for heart failure. Puntmann suspects the abnormalities are signs of permanent problems. “While we do not have direct evidence for late consequences yet, such as the development of heart failure … it is quite possible that in a few years, this burden will be enormous based on what we have learned from other viral conditions that similarly affect the heart,” she said.
