The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be looking into the rare case of heart inflammation in youths following the COVID-19 vaccination after an advisory group recommends.

The condition often goes away without complications and can be caused by a variety of viruses, the CDC group said.

CDC said that predominantly adolescents and young adults most of whom were male developed myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle.

CDC monitoring systems had not found more cases than would be expected in the population, but members of the committee on vaccinations felt that healthcare providers should be made aware of the reports of the “potential adverse event,” the committee said in the statement.

Further investigation has been recommended about the issue.
