I've had
Myocarditis twice in my youth as an athlete (rowing). Diagnosed the first time by a team doctor on the junior national team that included two others on the team being diagnosed with Myocarditis. It was something that team doctors were specifically looking for because they said it was a problem with young rowers.
- Actually, any young athlete with unusual tall height has a higher risk for Myocarditis than other athletes and higher risk than the general population.
Each time I had Myocarditis...I wasn't allowed to compete for about 4 weeks until it cleared up after a slight change in my diet with the help of a team nutritionist.
Yet, because of my medical history with Myocarditis and the fact that my kids are also very tall for the age group along with the fact that they are top athletes in their sports...I had our family doctor test them for Myocarditis prior to vaccination, again after their 1st dose, again after their 2nd dose (a month later)...
No Myocarditis and no adverse affect from their Covid vaccination.

Myocarditis Incidence
- The incidence of myocarditis is approximately 1.5 million cases worldwide per year. 150 cases per 100,000 in the United States from March 2020 – January 2021 that resulted in hospitalization.
Myocarditis (Hospitalization) January 2019 to May 2021 and its
16x more likely to occur in patients with Covid-19 in comparison to patients without Covid.
Incidence is usually estimated between
10 to 20 cases per 100,000 persons. The overall incidence is unknown and probably underdiagnosed. In the United States, the frequency of myocarditis is difficult to ascertain as many cases are subclinical. In community-based populations, the prevalence and outcomes of myocarditis are unknown as epidemiologic studies suggest that the majority of Coxsackie B virus infections, an important cause of myocarditis are subclinical, thus following a benign course.
According to some estimates, 1% to 5% of all patients with acute viral infections may involve the myocardium.
- The majority of patients are young and healthy. Individuals who are susceptible include children, pregnant women, and those who are immunocompromised.
There are approximately 75 deaths per year in athletes between 13-‐25 years. 89% occur in males, 64% occur in females.
Most deaths occur during or immediately after exercise, with causes including Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: 36%, Coronary anomalies: 17%, Myocarditis: 6%, Arrhythmogenic
Right Ventricular Dysplasia: 4%, Long QT Syndrome: 4% (7).
Myocarditis is the reason for sudden cardiac death in 5-‐22% of athletes < 35 years of age. For prevention of myocarditis and sudden cardiac death it is recommended to stop elite sport for 4 weeks after an unspecific infection. Whether moderate sport can be started earlier is unclear. When myocarditis is verified, athletes have to withdraw from sport for at least 6 months (8).
