RESUMO
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has revealed several cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) or after messenger RNA vaccine administration. Because of the high prevalence of COVID-19, the expansion of vaccination programs, and the appearance of new information on myocarditis in these contexts, there is a need to condense the knowledge acquired since the start of the pandemic. To meet this need, this document was drafted by the Myocarditis Working Group of the Heart Failure Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology, with the collaboration of the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS). The document aims to address the diagnosis and treatment of cases of myocarditis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection or messenger RNA vaccine administration.

La pandemia causada por el coronavirus del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave de tipo 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ha puesto de manifiesto una serie de complicaciones cardiovasculares, entre las que destaca la miocarditis ocasionada tanto por la propia infección por SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) como por la administración de vacunas de ARN mensajero. La elevada prevalencia de primoinfección, la difusión universal de los programas de vacunación y la constante aparición de nueva información sobre la miocarditis en estos contextos, hace necesario condensar el conocimiento adquirido desde el inicio de la pandemia. Con este objetivo, el Grupo de Trabajo Miocarditis de la Asociación de Insuficiencia Cardiaca de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología, con la colaboración de la Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS), ha elaborado el presente documento que pretende abordar el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de los casos de miocarditis asociados con la infección por SARS-CoV-2 o la vacuna de ARN mensajero.
