Myocarditis is a rare but serious condition that causes inflammation of the heart muscle. It can weaken the heart and affect the heart's electrical system, which keeps the heart pumping regularly.
It is most often the result of an infection or inflammation caused by a virus, the researchers said.
"The highest rates of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination have been reported among adolescent and young adult males," said Jane W Newburger, associate chair at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Commonwealth Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, US.
