COVID-19 and COVID-19 mRNA vaccines on the heart is getting a boost in funding following reports of rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis during the pandemic.The study, called the Canadian Cardiovascular Society National Active Surveillance Study of Myocarditis and/or Pericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination (MYCOVACC), will receive an additional $2 million from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) over two years.In all, the study will have a total investment of $3.6 million over three years.According to a news release, the funding will allow the study to expand and extend patient follow-up and perform cardiac imaging on those affected.“(The study) is working to determine if people who experience these rare heart conditions are at increased risk of future health problems,” said cardiologist Dr. Nathaniel Hawkins, who leads the study.MYCOVACC began in October 2022 in response to reports of rare cases of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining surrounding the heart muscle) following mRNA vaccines and COVID-19 infection.“While most people make a full recovery after myocarditis and pericarditis, long-term outcomes warrant further investigation,” the news release reads.

greenhouse gas emissions, or eight years worth, could be prevented from being released over the next four decades by setting tougher standards on air conditioning appliances, a new study has found.Published Friday by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Energy Agency (IEA), the study found that stringent actions to make air conditioning systems more effective could reduce between 210 to 460 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2060.According to the report, countries could achieve the change by regulating the reduction of climate-warming refrigerants like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) — potentially avoiding as much as 0.4 degrees Celcius of global warming by the end of the century.
