Article Synopsis
- Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has effectively reduced the severity of infections globally despite viral mutations, shifting the focus towards potential side effects, particularly myocarditis linked to mRNA vaccines.
- A study documented eight patients aged 13 to 56 who experienced cardiac symptoms like dyspnea and chest pain soon after vaccination with BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273.
- Diagnosis was supported through MRI and electrocardiography, but the exact causes of myocarditis post-vaccination remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- AKI is a frequent complication after high-risk PCI procedures, particularly in patients identified at elevated risk using the Mehran scoring system.
- In a study of 28 patients who were unable to undergo surgery due to high risks, those supported by Impella during PCI experienced significantly less AKI compared to those on VA-ECMO.
- The research concluded that while both mechanical circulatory support methods are viable for high-risk PCI, Impella shows advantages in terms of shorter procedure times and lower AKI rates.
