Table 6.

Management of vaccination‐related myocarditis

Clinical presentation Treatment
Chest pain
  • Exclude acute coronary syndrome clinically or in uncertain cases angiographically

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
  • Angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitors

  • Beta‐blockers

  • Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists

  • Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors

Arrhythmias
  • Guideline‐directed therapy based on the type of arrhythmia

Fulminant cases/cardiogenic shock (very rare)
  • Corticosteroids for short duration

  • Mechanical circulatory support and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (class IIa) in left ventricular dysfunction to unload the left ventricle and provide support as bridge to recovery

Higher‐degree atrioventricular block (very rare)
  • Pacemaker
