Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has been associated with myocarditis. The novel mRNA vaccines, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, that encode the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein have shown to be a safe combatant to the pandemic. Myocarditis has become a rare, newly recognized complication of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations. The mechanism remains unknown, but multiple have been proposed. Case description: A 24-year-old healthy Caucasian female presented to the hospital with acute chest pain. The patient received her first dose of mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine two days prior to onset of symptoms. She reported sharp mid-sternal chest pain worse with inspiration and …

Conference Presentation Abstracts
Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a well described entity characterized by transient and reversible left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Primary TC is triggered by psychological or emotional stress, whereas secondary TC could be due to trauma, surgery or medications. We aimed to compare outcomes in primary TC and secondary TC in cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively identified 80 patients who presented with TC to MD Anderson between December 2008 and January 2019. Baseline characteristics were obtained. We identified the triggers leading to TC. Univariate analysis was done using Cox regression. Kaplan Meier method (KM) was used to compare survival based …
