D-Dimer Is Associated With Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients With Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease and Preserved Ejection Fraction
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD), an important etiology of ischemic heart disease, has been widely studied. D-dimer is a simple indicator of microthrombosis and inflammation. However, whether an increase in D-dimer is related to CMVD is still unclear.

Do we miss rare adverse events induced by COVID-19 vaccination?
Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has caused many complications, the invention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines has also brought about several adverse events, from common side eects to unexpected and rare ones. Common vaccine-related
adverse reactions manifest locally or systematically following any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines. Specific side eects, known as adverse events of particular interest (AESI), are unusual and need more evaluation. Here, we discuss some of the most critical rare adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines.

Myocardial Injury and Altered Gene Expression Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infection or mRNA Vaccination
COVID-191-3 infection and SARS-COV-2 mRNA-based vaccines4-8 are both infrequently associated with myocardial injury that is typically diagnosed clinically as myocarditis. The observation that mRNA platform-based vaccines are associated with an incidence of myocardial injury/myocarditis that exceeds background rates in certain younger age groups,7,8 where it has a prevalence approaching COVID-19 myocarditis7, is a surprising and important observation that needs further investigation. Specifically, the question of whether these 2 disorders are similar or different from histopathologic and molecular perspectives has not yet been addressed. The common exposure of both to SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) protein provides the basis for testing the hypothesis that the pathophysiologies are similar.

Regular exercise may improve the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines
“I think this study adds to the growing evidence that, along with vaccination, daily physical activity is the single most important thing you can do to prevent severe COVID-19 outcomes,” said Robert Sallis, a family and sports medicine doctor at the Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center in California and former president of the American College of Sports Medicine. He has researched covid and exercise but was not involved with the new study.
