A peer-reviewed paper published in the journal Cureus has found a link between COVID-19 vaccines and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, suggesting that they may trigger this condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the quick development and administration of several vaccinations. Nonetheless, concurrent with the extensive immunization campaigns, there has been a discernible surge in the incidence of COVID-19 vaccine-associated adverse events and side effects. A possible link between COVID-19 vaccinations and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy has been found through research, resulting in two fatalities out of 16 cases.

Breathlessness and severe chest pain are prominent symptoms of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which shares similarities with acute myocardial infarction in terms of clinical presentation. Its defining feature is abnormal left ventricular function, which usually happens following extreme emotional or physical stressors such as a loved one passing away, experiencing a traumatic incident, or being seriously unwell. The term “Takotsubo” refers to this illness, which was initially recognized by Japanese physician Dr. Hikaru Sato in 1990 because of the balloon-like bulging of the left ventricle, resembling the octopus-catching pot used in Japan.

Outside of Japan, the conditions stress cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning syndrome, and broken heart syndrome are other names for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

A Case Study

A case report describing the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a 59-year-old lady following a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccination was published in the journal Cureus in August. The patient went to the emergency room after suffering from dyspnea for six hours straight. The patient reported that she had been having sporadic chest pain for the previous two days, which she described as a stabbing feeling that got stronger with each episode but did not spread to other parts of her body. There was no way to relieve the pain; in fact, exertion made it worse. Three days earlier, the patient had gotten a booster dose of the Moderna vaccination.

The patient’s blood pressure was 150/90 mmHg, blood oxygen saturation was 89%, and there was no fever. The patient remained aware. Her lungs were making crepitations, which were noisy, crackling noises. A negative result was obtained from a COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test. An X-ray of the chest showed pulmonary edema, an ultrasound revealed impaired left ventricular systolic function with an estimated ejection fraction of thirty percent, and the emergency ECG revealed ST-segment elevation. The front wall and apex of the heart also showed significant hypokinesia, or abnormally decreased motor activity.

The patient’s tachycardia and blood pressure swings persisted, which eventually caused fluid overload-related hemodynamic instability and cardiac shock. The medical staff treated the patient with intravenous doses of dobutamine and norepinephrine. When no other causes could be found, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy was the diagnosis made for her.
