Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the myocardium that develops secondary to various etiological factors; it is a disease with complications and mortality. Although the causes are infectious, immune-mediated, and drug-toxin exposure, it can also develop after exposed to the coronavirus 2 and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, which recently affected the world and caused severe acute respiratory syndrome. In addition to clinical and laboratory findings, imaging methods, such as echocardiography, computed tomography angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, play a significant role in diagnosis.
