The cardiac injury occurs in approximately 30% of COVID-19 infections and is associated with a worse prognosis. The clinical presentation of cardiac involvement can be COVID-19-related myocarditis. Our review aims to summarise current evidence about that complication. The research was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42022338397). We performed a systematic analysis using five different databases, including i.a. MEDLINE. Further, the backward snowballing technique was applied to identify additional papers. Inclusion criteria were: full-text articles in English presenting cases of COVID-19-related myocarditis diagnosed by the ESC criteria and patients over 18 years old. The myocarditis had to occur after the COVID-19 infection, not vaccination. Initially, 1588 papers were screened from the database search, and 1037 papers were revealed in the backward snowballing process. Eventually, 59 articles were included. Data about patients\u2019 sex, age, ethnicity, COVID-19 confirmation technique and vaccination status, reported symptoms, physical condition, laboratory and radiological findings, applied treatment and patient outcome were investigated and summarised. COVID-19-related myocarditis is associated with the risk of sudden worsening of patients\u2019 clinical status, thus, knowledge about its clinical presentation is essential for healthcare workers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11195519","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T01:47:06Z","timestamp":1663811226000},"page":"5519","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["COVID-19 Related Myocarditis in Adults: A Systematic Review of Case Reports"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5547-150X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Szymon","family":"Urban","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6315-4299","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Fu\u0142ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Occupational Diseases, Hypertension and Clinical Oncology, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miko\u0142aj","family":"B\u0142aziak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8574-9963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gracjan","family":"Iwanek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4316-8623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maksym","family":"Jura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Fu\u0142ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lower Silesian Oncology, Pulmonology and Hematology Center, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Guzik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mateusz","family":"Garus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6013-5167","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Gajewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7624-631X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Lewandowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry, Wroclaw Medical University, Chalubinskiego 10, 50-368 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9977-7722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Biegus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Ponikowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Przemys\u0142aw","family":"Trzeciak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3rd Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Zabrze, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Tyci\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-089 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1483-7381","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Zymli\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-376 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2022, August 09).
