Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of COVID-19 vaccinations on heart health using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in individuals aged 12 and older, focusing on changes in heart tissue and function before and after vaccination.
- 67 subjects underwent two CMR scans: one before the first vaccine and another after the second vaccine, assessing various heart-related metrics and biomarkers.
- Results showed no significant changes in heart function or signs of inflammation post-vaccination, although there was a slight decrease in white blood cell count and an increase in C-reactive protein, suggesting overall the vaccines do not typically cause heart injury or inflammation.
