Shingles vaccine Can reduce the risk of Heart attack And Shock According to the first global study of its kind, in about fifth place.
Researchers reviewed the evidence between herpes zoster vaccination – Used to prevent ringworm – And heart problems.
Results shown Shingles jab K was associated with 18 percent lower risk Stroke In adults aged 18 and above. Adults aged 50 or older had a reduction of 16 percent in the risk of heart incidences.
Data is to be presented to the cardiologist later this week at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Madrid.
The author of the study, Dr. Charles Williams, Global Associate Medical Director for vaccines at GSK said: “We saw the currently available evidence, and found that in this analysis, vaccination against herpes zoster was associated with low risk of heart incidences or strokes such as heart incidences or strokes.
“Further research studies now need to find out whether this association can be attributed to the impact of herpes zoster vaccination.”
Ringworm is a common disease caused by chickenpox virus. The infection can cause a painful rash and can lead to serious complications, including vision loss, hearing problems, and stains.
The vaccines are available on NHS, but for people over 65 years of age or for people between the ages of 70 to 79, who are not vaccinated, and more than 50 people are accompanied by a severely weaker immune system.
The systematic review was conducted using three scientific literature databases, and a meta-analysis was done using steps 3 random controlled tests and observation studies in view of the effects of the vaccine on cardiovascular events.
“While our conclusions are encouraging, there are some limitations for available data we studied,” Dr. Williams explained.
“Almost all evidence came from observation studies, which suffer from prejudice and should be used to not be the cause.
“All studies used in meta-analysis are the purpose of checking the use of herpes zoster vaccine to prevent ringworm in the general population, which can limit the ability to normalize this research for high risk people of heart incidence. It exhibits more research needs in the field.”
NHS announced this week that more than 300,000 people would become eligible for herpes vaccine from 1 September. People between the ages of 18 to 49 who have severely weaker immune systems will be offered jobs.
Vaccination has been seen as an effective remedy for the prevention of heart disease including heart attack and stroke.
Previous study of more than one lakh people published in European Heart Journal Earlier this year, it was found that people who are vaccinated for ringworm have a risk of 23 percent less heart phenomena, including stroke, heart failure and coronary heart disease.
