Sex: F
Vaccine: COVID19
Symptoms: Immunology test, Low density lipoprotein, Magnetic resonance imaging heart, Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Pericarditis
Clinical narrative: Symptoms resurfaced 3 weeks after patient's second vaccination; Pericarditis and arrythmias secondary to an immune reaction to the vaccine; reappearance of exacerbated CVD (PVCs); fatigue and shortness of breath, the major symptoms that were exacerbated after the second vaccination, are the 2 most common symptoms of long COVID; This is a literature report.  A 35-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 (BNT162B2), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) and as dose 2, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history included: "hospitalized" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: hospitalized for 3 days, 1 year and 10 months before she was vaccinated; "palpitations" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: 1 year and 10 months before she was vaccinated; "premature ventricular contractions" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: 1 year and 10 months before she was vaccinated; "presyncope" (unspecified if ongoing), notes: hospitalized for 3 days, 1 year and 10 months before she was vaccinated. The patient's family history included: "diabetes" (unspecified if ongoing); "high blood pressure" (unspecified if ongoing); "cardiac cirrhosis" (unspecified if ongoing). The patient's concomitant medications were not reported.

Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of disease recurrence, pericarditis, ventricular extrasystoles, post-acute covid-19 syndrome.  Clinical course: Patient with history of cardiovascular disease presented with shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fatigue, chest pain, and premature ventricular contractions 3weeks after her second COVID-19 vaccine. Symptoms subsided following catheter  ablation and ibuprofen except for  chest  pain and fatigue, which persisted following ablation and sub- sequent SARS-CoV-2 infection.  The case suggests causal associations between COVID-19 vaccine/infection and recurrence of cardiovascular disease, including long-COVIDlike symptoms. The patient had a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), having been hospitalized for 3 days  with palpitations  and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) at 1 year and 10 months before he r first PfizerSARS-CoV-2vaccination.  Symptoms resurfaced 3weeks after patient's second vaccination and worsened progressively, with multiple hospital admissions that included dual cardiac ablations over a 3-month period. Ibuprofen was prescribed for pericarditis 2 months after the second ablation, and 3 weeks later, the patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The patient took only vitamin D to combat SARS-CoV-2 infection. Shortly after testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the patient presented again with chest pain when moving or breathing, joint pain, and dermatitis, symptoms that persisted for 6 months.CVD was first evident when the patient was hospitalizedfor3dayswithpresyncope, palpitations, and high burden of PVCs, 1 year and 10 months before she was vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2. Three weeks after receiving her second vaccination, the patient experienced lightheadedness, fatigue, frequent presyncope, shortness of breath, and chest pain, and she was admitted to the hospital with high burden of PVCs. Symptoms improved after the ablations, and echocardiogram showed trace mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and pericardial effusion. Symptoms of chest pain and fatigue were still evident but subside during 2 to 3 weeks treatment with Advil. The differential diagnosis included long COVID-19, arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient is currently stable but still presents with severely restricted physical performance, chest pain, joint pain, and fatigue. She has switched from a vegetarian to nonvegetarian diet as a possible avenue to mitigate fatigue (she was tested for low iron and ferritin levels after COVID-19 infection) and continues to take a vitamin D supplement. The patient was prescribed statin medication for LDL-C and HDL-C but did not take it. The patient remained under observation.; Sender's Comments: Based on available information and the temporal association, a possible contributory role of Comirnaty vaccine cannot be excluded for the reported events of "DISEASE RECURRENCE ","PERICARDITIS" , "VENTRICULAR EXTRASYSTOLES " and "POST-ACUTE COVID-19 SYNDROME".
