The patient died on 10-Apr-2021. The cause of death was not reported. It is unknown if an autopsy was performed. At the time of death, ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (Acute kidney injury), ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (Atrial fibrillation), CARDIAC ARREST (Cardiac arrest), CARDIO-RESPIRATORY ARREST (Cardio-respiratory arrest), CARDIOMEGALY (Cardiomegaly), CHEST PAIN (Chest pain), CHRONIC LEFT VENTRICULAR FAILURE (Chronic left ventricular failure), CONDITION AGGRAVATED (Condition aggravated), DECREASED APPETITE (Decreased appetite), DEHYDRATION (Dehydration), DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION (Diastolic dysfunction), DYSPNOEA (Dyspnoea), FALL (Fall), FATIGUE (Fatigue), FEEDING DISORDER (Feeding disorder), FLUID INTAKE REDUCED (Fluid intake reduced), HYPOKALAEMIA (Hypokalaemia), HYPOTENSION (Hypotension), HYPOVOLAEMIA (Hypovolaemia), MALAISE (Malaise), PALPITATIONS (Palpitations), RENAL IMPAIRMENT (Renal impairment), RENAL TUBULAR NECROSIS (Renal tubular necrosis), SLEEP APNOEA SYNDROME (Sleep apnoea syndrome) and TACHYCARDIA (Tachycardia) outcome was unknown.      DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS (normal ranges are provided in parenthesis if available): On 02-Apr-2021, Blood creatinine: increased (Inconclusive) increased. On 02-Apr-2021, Chest X-ray: abnormal (abnormal) CXR showed enlarged cardiac silhouette.. On 02-Apr-2021, Echocardiogram: normal (normal) normal. On 02-Apr-2021, Ejection fraction: normal (normal) 55-60% with Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. On 02-Apr-2021, Electrocardiogram: abnormal (abnormal) atrial fibrillation. On 02-Apr-2021, Myocardial necrosis marker: normal (Negative) normal.     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Unknown), the reporter did not provide any causality assessments.   Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) was performed and despite maximal effort, the patient subsequently expired at 0737.
