This study on post-vaccine myocarditis demonstrates residual lesions with persistent areas of late gadolinium enhancement/myocardial fibrosis with ongoing myocardial oedema after resolution of the initial myocardial oedema a few weeks after Pfizer/BioNTech vaccination. There is an urgent need to recognise and fully investigate the outcome of post-vaccination myocarditis.
