Core Tip

Core Tip: Mechanisms like vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia and myocarditis complication have been identified in the literature linking myocardial infarction with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. The majority of myocardial infarction cases reported were after vaccination with the vaccine from AstraZeneca, were ST-segment elevation, and were reported after first dose of vaccine. Although there are reports of myocardial infarction after COVID-19 vaccination, no definitive link was found in the previous literature linking the two.
