Popis: Myocarditis is a rare adverse event of vaccination. Recently, mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 have been reported to correlate with myocarditis, specifically in adolescents and young men. We report a rare case of a 50-year-old man who presented with symptoms of myocardial infarction 3 days after the second dose of vaccination for COVID-19. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging revealed acute myopericarditis. Clinicians should be aware of that rare side effect of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 that can affect not only younger recipients but also middle-aged patients presenting with symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
