Sumario:Despite the beneficial effects of anti-COVID-19 vaccination, monitoring its safety has identified potential cardiac adverse events, mainly myocarditis and pericarditis. The case of a healthy 32-year-old male patient who developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 48 hours after the second dose of anti-COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) is reported. This is the first reported case in the literature of an AMI associated to post-COVID-19 vaccination with mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) in a healthy young adult without coronary risk factors and normal coronary arteries. Despite this adverse event, the continuation of the anti-COVID-19 vaccination campaign is encouraged due to the benefits it brings.
