With a growing number of studies showing heart inflammation in young, healthy adults, especially after the second dose, top doctors said on Sunday that more decisive steps were taken to prove that the Covid-19 vaccine should be avoided. He said this should not ring a warning bell because more research is needed.
The Journal of the American College of Cardiology found an increased risk of myocarditis, pericarditis, and pericarditis (acute heart inflammation) after a second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.
In this condition, inflammation of the heart muscle and covering of the heart can lead to various heart problems.
Other studies have also reported these incidences at approximately 0.3-5 per 1,000 population, making them a rare phenomenon.
More importantly, although most of these patients required hospitalization, these cases were treated in a timely manner and did not result in death.
“In other words, these cases were relatively rare, and most of them recovered from the condition with simple conservative symptomatic treatment that did not require significant intervention,” said consultant and critical Chief of Care, Dr Sanjith Saseedharan, said. IANS.
Time will tell if this condition has long-term effects.
“However, this complication is more common in younger people, probably because their immune systems are more robust and can cause dysregulated inflammation,” Dr. Saseedharan explained.
As cases of unexpected heart attacks and strokes emerge among healthy young and middle-aged Indians, a new survey last week found that both unvaccinated and vaccinated people It has become clear that we are affected by this new health emergency.
Approximately 51% of citizens have at least one individual in their close network who has experienced a heart or stroke, blood clot, neurological complication, cancer acceleration, or other sudden medical condition in the past two years said.
A survey by social community platform LocalCircles found that 62% of citizens said those who developed such conditions in their network had been vaccinated twice, and 11% said those affected had only one dose. 8% said they were not vaccinated. .
Cardiologists are concerned about sudden spikes in the number of people dying from heart attacks.
“There is not enough data and evidence to prove whether this is a Covid-induced phenomenon, but it has definitely increased post-Covid. There is a risk,” Vaishali of Max Super Specialty Hospital told IANS.
Covid, or long Covid, can cause persistent inflammation in the cardiovascular system, according to Dr. Sanjeev Gera, director and head of cardiology at Fortis Hospital Noida.
“This can break silent blockages and cause a heart attack, especially after unfamiliar exercise such as lifting heavy weights, walking on a treadmill, or running in cold weather. Cholesterol, smoking or obesity,” Guerra told IANS.
At this time, there is no significant evidence that the condition can have adverse consequences, as the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the risks.
