Vaccinul asociat cu scăderea riscului de infarct și AVC. „Efectul ar putea fi enorm”, spun cercetătorii

Research indicates that the Shingrix vaccine may significantly lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes, potentially saving thousands of lives annually. A study involving 70,000 participants found a 12% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk among vaccinated individuals over three and a half years. This effect could be comparable to daily blood pressure medication. The findings suggest that vaccinating older adults against shingles could prevent numerous cases of coronary artery disease and strokes globally. Ongoing studies aim to confirm these results and explore the underlying mechanisms.
