Clinical cardiovascular emergencies and the cellular basis of COVID-19 vaccination: from dream to reality?
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objectives
SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic, with little prevention or treatment options. More than 600 million mortalities have been documented from SARS-CoV-2 infection, with the majority of fatalities occurring among elderly patients (aged >65 years). A number of vaccines have been developed in an effort to restrain the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2. Considering the widespread administration of these vaccines, substantial side or undesired effects in multiple organ systems have emerged, necessitating essential critical care. Herein, we tabulate the adverse cardiovascular responses resulting from COVID-19 vaccines.Design or methods
We searched PubMed for articles published through April, 2022, with the terms "SARS-CoV-2", "COVID-19", "cardiovascular", "SARS-CoV-2 vaccines", "COVID-19 vaccines", "myocarditis", "pericarditis", "thrombosis", "thrombocytopenia", "vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia", "acute coronary syndrome", "myocardial infarction", "hypertension", "arrythmia", "postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome", "Takotsubo cardiomyopathy", "cardiac arrest" and "death". We mainly selected publications from the past 3 years, but did not exclude widely referenced and highly regarded older publications. Besides, we searched the reference lists of articles identified by above search method and chose those we considered relevant.Results
COVID-19 vaccines evoke rare but fatal thrombotic events, whereas messenger RNA\055based vaccines appear to be associated with risks of pericarditis/myocarditis, with the latter being more predominant in young adults following the second dose. Reports of other cardiovascular responses, including hypertension, arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome, and cardiac arrest, have also been indicated.Conclusion
The undesired cardiovascular complications remain infrequent, giveng the large number of vaccinations inoculated to general population. And lower mortality takes precedence over the undesired cardiovascular complications.
