COVID vaccination linked to fewer cardiac events: Indian-American scientist

An Indian American researcher Girish N. Nadkarni-led study has revealed that covid vaccination is associated with fewer heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues among people who were infected with the coronavirus.

It is the first study to examine both full and partial vaccination and the link to major adverse cardiac events ( MACE ) in the US, confirming similar analyses performed previously using the Korean covid-19 registry.

Analysing the most extensive datasets in the US, the team from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reached this conclusion.

The team said that further work will be necessary to elucidate the mechanisms involved from an immunological perspective and clarify the role of covid virus subtypes and reinfections in their relationship to the risk of MACE.
