Myocarditis in young males after COVID vaccine: New study suggests what may cause the rare heart condition
Fox News
Studies have shown that in rare cases, teenage and young adult males have developed myocarditis after getting the COVID-19 vaccine — and new research pinpoints a possible cause.
The scientists found that the condition was caused not by antibodies produced by the vaccine, but by the body’s natural immune response to the vaccine. "It does not seem to have long-term consequences for the heart." "The chances of having serious complications remain far greater from getting the COVID-19 virus itself." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
"The [researchers] examined a number of different mechanisms in terms of immune responses and were able to rule out adaptive immune responses — so, no specific antibody-mediated responses targeting the virus or the heart itself," said Dr. Donald M. Lloyd-Jones, immediate past president of the American Heart Association and chair of the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
