Clinical narrative: Heart rate went up to 234 bpm; complications of the pacemaker- he had to get blood transfusion; Blood transfusion; This spontaneous case was reported by a consumer and describes the occurrence of HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate went up to 234 bpm), COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH DEVICE (complications of the pacemaker- he had to get blood transfusion) and TRANSFUSION (Blood transfusion) in a 76-year-old male patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) for COVID-19 vaccination.     The patient's past medical history included Stroke (Stroke (2009)) in 2009. Concurrent medical conditions included Penicillin allergy.    On 21-Jul-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. In August 2021, the patient experienced HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate went up to 234 bpm) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH DEVICE (complications of the pacemaker- he had to get blood transfusion) (seriousness criterion hospitalization) and TRANSFUSION (Blood transfusion) (seriousness criterion hospitalization). The patient was hospitalized for 21 days due to COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH DEVICE, HEART RATE INCREASED and TRANSFUSION. The patient was treated with Surgery (Insertion of pacemaker) for Heart rate increased. At the time of the report, HEART RATE INCREASED (Heart rate went up to 234 bpm), COMPLICATION ASSOCIATED WITH DEVICE (complications of the pacemaker- he had to get blood transfusion) and TRANSFUSION (Blood transfusion) outcome was unknown.      DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): In August 2021, Heart rate: 234 (High) 234 bpm.     The action taken with mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) was unknown.       Treatment: Patient had to get blood transfusion for pacemaker complication, Electro-shock in ER and insertion of pacemaker for increased heart rate  Concomitant medications was not provided by the reporter.
