  The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a workshop of international experts to discuss new research opportunities for the prevention, detection, and intervention of myocarditis in May 2021. […] The workshop, “Meeting the Challenges of Myocarditis: New Opportunities for Prevention, Detection, and Intervention Workshop,” held by the NHLBI on May 3, 4 and 6, 2021 discussed major advances in myocarditis research and identified key knowledge gaps in diagnostic, therapeutic, basic science, and translational frontiers for myocarditis. […] Understanding the mechanism of mRNA vaccine-induced myocarditis is important for the use of this technology to prevent COVID-19 and to understand the risks of other vaccines based on the same technology. […] The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that new viruses can cause myocarditis and cardiac damage with more complex pathogenesis. In addition, new mRNA vaccines will be used more broadly for other viruses, and there is an urgent need to understand the pathogenesis of the rare myocarditis side effect that they can cause. […] There is an urgent need to understand the role of ICIs in cardiac immune homeostasis, model the ICI-induced myocarditis in vivo, and define biomarkers of susceptibility to this cardiac injury.

  There is no specific way to prevent myocarditis, but there are steps you can take to prevent infections that might lead to the condition. These include: […] Practicing good hygiene, including frequent hand washing and using a hand sanitizer when soap and water is not available […] Keeping away from people who are sick with the flu or other viral illness […] Staying up to date on your vaccines, including those that protect against the flu and rubella, diseases that can lead to myocarditis […] Avoiding risky behavior, such as unprotected sex and using illicit drugs […] Minimizing exposure to ticks by wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants and using insect repellents containing DEET when spending time in tick-infested areas.
