Abstract :
SARS-CoV-2 was the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic that emerged in 2019. To date, over 670 million individuals have received mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. However, emerging evidence suggests a potential association between these vaccines and cardiovascular complications. Concerns have been raised regarding their possible contribution to underrecognized cardiovascular issues, such as arrhythmias and arterial hypertension. The individuals with pre-existing heart conditions are at a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events and unfavorable clinical outcomes following vaccination. Reported complications include myocarditis, arrhythmias, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, and thromboembolic events. This review discusses the underlying mechanisms, diagnostic techniques, strategies for treatment, and current limitations of the literature on the possible link between mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations and cardiovascular problems.
