Acute Myopericarditis after the Second Dose of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Mimicking Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Myocarditis is a rare adverse event of vaccination. Recently, mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 have been reported to correlate with myocarditis, specifically in adolescents and young men. We report a rare case of a 50-year-old man who presented with symptoms of myocardial infarction 3 days after the second dose of vaccination for COVID-19.

"Missing" acute coronary syndrome hospitalizations during the COVID-19 era in Greece: Medical care avoidance combined with a true reduction in incidence?

Background: Reports from countries severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic suggest a decline in acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-related hospitalizations. The generalizability of this observation on ACS admissions and possible related causes in countries with low COVID-19 incidence are not known.

Hypothesis: ACS admissions were reduced in a country spared by COVID-19.

The Role of BNP and CRP in Predicting the Development of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

Objective. To evaluate the association of BNP and CRP with the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. Methods.

Acute coronary angiographic findings in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: Diagnosis of acute coronary artery disease in survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is difficult. The role of emergency coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in this setting is debated. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of coronary lesions on emergency angiography in survivors of OHCA.
