For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter considered MYOCARDITIS (Acute myocardial injury/ Myocarditis), SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (MIS-A), HYPERTENSION (Hypertensive), DYSPNOEA (Worsening shortness of breath), ORTHOPNOEA (Orthopnea), PYREXIA (Fever), CHILLS (Chills), NAUSEA (Nausea), FATIGUE (Increasing fatigue), CONDITION AGGRAVATED (acute exacerbation of CHF), HYPOXIA (hypoxia), TACHYCARDIA (tachycardia) and TACHYPNOEA (tachypnea) to be possibly related.    Patient denied history of previous COVID infection or contact with a patient with known COVID-19 infection. Acute exacerbation of CHF was treated with diuretics and supplemental oxygen therapy. Tachycardia and Tachypnea improved with bronchodilators.  A literature case with some reported events approximately 6 hours after the second dose of vaccine. Based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events, a causal relationship cannot be excluded.  Probable confounding factors are the patient's medical history of  Hypertension, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Hyperlipidemia, Coronary artery disease, and Congestive heart failure, with procedural history of Stent placement and Coronary artery bypass graft.; Sender's Comments: A literature case with some reported events approximately 6 hours after the second dose of vaccine.
