Oregon Health & Science University is Oregon’s only academic health center and is nationally distinguished as a research university dedicated solely to advancing health sciences. This allows us to focus on discoveries to prevent and cure disease, on education that prepares the health care and health science professionals of the future, and on patient care that incorporates the latest advances.
Inflammation of the heart (shown here), known as myocarditis, can be triggered by viral infection, including COVID-19, as well as from COVID-19 vaccination, in rare cases.
