Symptom narrative

I am writing to report a serious cardiac event that occurred in August 2024. At that time, my heart stopped, and I required defibrillation via an automated external defibrillator (AED). I regained consciousness en route to the hospital. Subsequent extensive testing has not identified a cause for this event, and I have since had an internal defibrillator implanted. I received the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine prior to this event and am concerned about a potential correlation between the vaccination and my cardiac arrest, particularly given discussions regarding potential cardiac issues in men my age following mRNA vaccines. I urge the FDA to investigate potential links between COVID-19 vaccines and unexplained cardiac events. I am available to provide further details about my experience if needed. Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter.
