#Cardiac sequelae in athletes following COVID-19 vaccination: evidence and misinformation | British Journal of Sports Medicine https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/21/1400 “Currently, the available evidence does not support claims that #COVID19#mRNA#vaccination leads to an elevated risk of myocardial sequelae or #SCAD in athletes when compared to native #SARSCoV2 infection.”
“A subgroup analysis in individuals under 40 years of age estimated an excess 2 and 8 cases of myocarditis per 1 million first doses, and an excess 3 and 15 cases per 1 million second doses of the BNT162b2 (BioNTech, Pfizer) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine, respectively. This contrasts with 10 extra cases of myocarditis per 1 million positive SARS-CoV-2 tests .1 However, no confirmed cases of athletes with cardiac complications following mRNA vaccination have been reported to date.”
“#FIFA has made a public statement reporting no notable increase in #SCAD based on the official FIFA registry. A recent Australian study investigating the prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (#OHCA) following #COVID19 infection and vaccination in over 4million young individuals demonstrated no increase in OHCA rates or #myocarditis as a contributing factor to OHCA.”
