As a cardiac surgeon I am asked frequently about the COVID vaccination side effects on the heart. Simply put, we have seen a large rise in myocarditis. Usually epicardial in nature (often requires an MRI to “see” it), it might even be associated with pericarditis. The Heart rests in a sac - the pericardial sac, which has normally about 15 cc of clear fluid in it and the heart can freely twist as it contracts in the sac. If the sac becomes inflamed, it can result in chest discomfort. Unless the fluid amount increases remarkably, pericarditis usually responds well to NSAIDs. If the fluid amount increases tremendously, such as in renal failure patients, or those with cancer metastasis to the pericardium, the heart function can be severely impaired due to the pressure on the heart - it just cannot fill well. That requires release of the fluid - either with a large needle or an operation by a surgeon to make a larger hole so the fluid can drain out. A stab or gunshot wound to the heart can do the same thing and often that sudden compression on the heart is the cause of death, not necessarily the blood loss.
But back to COVID.. it can cause inflammation of the surface of the hearts… but it can also cause clots to form easily. These clots can occur in the veins, the arteries, the legs, lungs, brain.. and they are usually detected by d-Dimer elevation. Our clotting system is quite balanced to allow for clots to form, and then to be broken down to allow blood to flow again. Amazing balance! In the “breaking down” part, the d-Dimer gets elevated in the blood as the clot dissolves. So we are seeing a snapshot of the “backside” of a clotting problem. About 15% of Americans have a tendency to make clots easily (hyper coagulable) - and testing random healthy folks will show about 15% will have an elevation of the d-Dimer. COVID, or the spike protein induced by the shot increases hyper coagulability. That has been documented in COVID patients as well as in autopsy series.
These are clots I removed from the lungs- in a patient (pre-covid era) - using a suction catheter system. Covid induced clots look the same as far as I can tell.
A myocardial infarction, or heart attack mostly is in elderly people, or those with heredity issues involving early cardiac death, smokers, possibly in some with really high cholesterol levels in blood - possibly related to diet, and of course diabetics. The list goes on, but there is a concern with seeing very young people, otherwise healthy have a myocardial infarction or die from a heart attack. This is a much more common event after the COVID epidemic and also after having a COVID vaccine. Steve Kirsch has a well documented recent compilation of articles on that.
So - when the naysayers question my concerns, here are some of the articles.
COVID - disease and vaccines and heart attacks in young people, a list of articles.
As I mentioned, these were before covid. Also, the catheter you see is what I removed them a bit at a time, which breaks them up into the small pieces you see. Again. these are NOT COVID clots, but they would look exactly the same. Long and rubbery is what they are. but usually only seen after an autopsy where they can be removed as such. Cannot do that with a catheter in a live person like I did these.
I hope you will come back and get this comment... not really a comment, but a question I just subscribed to your substack. I am trying to formulate a bill on blood transfusions from mRNA vaccinated individuals- as in the Pfizer formulation. I am getting pushback from the deep state: the legal department that writes the bills. I suspect they actually went to the evil side and asked our public health department (See SC DHEC) for their position, which is head in the ground full CDC and worse. It is a religion to them. Being deep state, they know better. I can create a substantial paper on the topic, but it would be nice if someone had done it, especially you.
