Influenza vaccine reduces heart attacks

Researchers at the University of Toronto, Canada, have discovered that flu shots can have many benefits to prevent "fatal" heart attacks.

The study, published by the New England Journal of Medicine and conducted by Jeffrey Kwong and his colleagues, examined approximately 20,000 patients with influenza. They found that the risk of heart attack increased by 600% in one week of influenza infection, while the risk increased with other respiratory infections, which multiplied at the time of influenza. It's turned out that something as simple as an influenza vaccine can act as an integrated heart valve.

In another study, researchers from the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Stroke in Taiwan examined the medical records of 80,000 patients over the age of 13 years. The study found that annual influenza vaccination reduced the risk of heart attack by 20% and provided similar protection against stroke.
