Underrecognized Condition Mimics Heart Attack Symptoms

Pericarditis, an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the heart, is often mistaken for a heart attack due to similar symptoms like severe chest pain and difficulty breathing. Affecting around 40,000 to 50,000 people in the U.S., it can be triggered by viral infections, including COVID-19, and other factors like heart surgery or medications. Early treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, such as colchicine, is crucial to prevent complications and recurrences. Despite vaccines being a potential cause, their risk is lower compared to the cardiovascular risks posed by COVID-19 itself.

COVID Vaccines Not Linked to Common Causes of Myocarditis, Study Finds

A new study in Science Immunology provides insight into the immune responses among 23 people who developed myocarditis and/or pericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. The study ruled out overexuberant antibodies in an autoimmune response but found that the vaccine is spurring a generalized, vigorous inflammatory response that leads to heart tissue inflammation and damage. The researchers concluded that the most likely explanation is that the immune systems of these individuals get a little too revved up and over-produce cytokine and cellular responses. The study may bring some relief when it does occur—self-resolving inflammation is less concerning than a difficult-to-treat autoimmune response.
