On an unknown date, Echocardiogram: normal (normal) was were negative.patient's bloodwork returned as normal.     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   On an unknown date, flu test was done, and result was found to be neagative.  Patient was not diagnosed with myocarditis or pericarditis and there was no history of COVID-19 infection.  Company Comment: 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 except causality is unlikely for the events of COPD, Mitral valve prolapse and Aortic stenosis .  The patient's multiple history could be possible confounding factors. Company comment: This spontaneous case concerns a 70- year-old, female patient with history of COPD, Asthma, High cholesterol and Benign lung neoplasm, who experienced the unexpected, serious (Medically significant) events of Dyspnoea and Hypertension. The events occurred 7 days after administration of second dose of mRNA-1273. The interval between the first and second dose of mRNA-1273 was noted to be 30 days. The patient reports that she still has high blood pressure and trouble breathing after her Primary Series of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. On an unknown date, Cardiac Lab values (ECG, cardiac test, cardiac enzymes), Echocardiogram and a Stress test were done with negative results, Blood pressure was also taken on an unknown date with elevated results. The patient's medical history of Asthma and COPD could be a confounder to the event Dyspnoea, while the patient's medical history of High cholesterol could be a confounder to the event Hypertension. The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 is not affected by this report.   This case was linked to MOD-2021-269067 (Patient Link).   Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 22-Mar-2022: Significant Follow Up Appended; Secondary reporter added, patient age updated and weight added, concomitant medication added, Seriousness medically important added for events dyspnoea, hypertension, added events dyspnoea exertional, coordination and influenza, outcome updated for the event dyspnoea.; Sender's Comments: This spontaneous case concerns a 70- year-old, female patient with history of COPD, Asthma, High cholesterol and Benign lung neoplasm, who experienced the unexpected, serious (Medically significant) events of Dyspnoea and Hypertension.
