Abstract
Introduction: individuals with cardiovascular diseases have a higher incidence of severe symptoms of COVID-19 with an incidence of acute cardiac injury in those affected, resulting in a poor therapeutic prognosis. Objectives: The objective of this current literature review was to verify the incidence of Myocarditis and Pericarditis generated by immunization against COVID 19. Material and Methods: The research was carried out through an electronic search for scientific articles published on the Scielo websites (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and Lilacs (Latin American Literature in Health Sciences) and Pubmed. The health terminologies consulted in the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS/BIREME) were used: Gestational Complications related to Myocarditis and Pericarditis generated by immunization against COVID 19. Discussion: A series of case reports and registry data suggest that myocarditis is a side effect of vaccination against COVID-19. There are case reports associating both vaccines based on viral vectors and inactivated vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 with the incidence of fulminant myocarditis. Another case report linked the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine to myocarditis and pericarditis in young male patients. Conclusion: However, one must be aware of the potential for even mild COVID-19 to cause ongoing symptoms (e.g., dysautonomia) and the infrequent presentation of myopericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination.
Keywords: Myocarditis and COVID 19; Pericarditis and COVID 19; side effects of COVID-19 vaccines.
