Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine-induced cardiac injury has recently emerged as a major public health concern around the globe. There are reported cases of COVID-19 vaccine-induced myocarditis, but they are generally extremely rare and mild. In contrast, COVID-19 infection can cause acute cardiac injury with poor prognosis and high mortality rates. Herein, we describe the difference in patients' presentation by comparing two cases of myocarditis. One after contracting COVID-19 virus infection with a severe clinical course, and the other patient developed myocarditis post-COVID-19 vaccine.
Keywords: COVID; myocarditis; vaccine.
