She attributed the onset of AFib to a recently administered COVID-19 vaccine, stating that she is sensitive to vaccines, and did not believe the condition was related to Ibrance. The reporter considered "atrial fibrillation" related to BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1). The reporter's assessment of the causal relationship of "feeling like her heart rate was all over the place" with the suspect product(s) BNT162b2 omicron (lp.8.1) was not provided at the time of this report. Since no determination has been received, the case is managed based on the company causality assessment.; Sender's Comments: Although it is difficult to establish temporal association between reported events Atrial fibrillation, Heart rate abnormal and suspect drug based on the limited information provided in the case, the causal association between the Reported events and the suspect drug cannot be excluded as there is no concrete evidence available to eliminate the causal association.
