The Mount Sinai Myocarditis Biobank is recruiting children & adults with all-cause #myocarditis to study genetic associations and risks. Physicians: please share with eligible patients. DM me if you would like a PDF version of flyer or feel free to share QR code/link below.

The MF is looking to support Dr. Amy Kontorovich’s study (Mt. Sinai, NYC) on Myocarditis from any cause, including Vaccine-Associated Myocarditis. Dr. Kontorovich and Mt. Sinai Hospital, NYC are enrolling patients now. redcap.mountsinai.org/redcap/surveys…
