COVID-19 Vaccination Linked to Fewer Heart Attacks, Strokes, and Other Cardiovascular Issues (Post-COVID)

Analyzing the most extensive datasets in the United States, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have revealed that vaccination against COVID-19 is associated with fewer heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular issues among people who were infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19....

It is the first study to examine both full and partial vaccination and the link to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in the United States, confirming similar analyses performed previously using the Korean COVID-19 registry. Researchers used the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) database, the largest national comprehensive database on COVID-19...

While we cannot attribute causality, it is supportive evidence that vaccination may have beneficial effects on a variety of post-COVID-19 complications,” said senior author Girish N. Nadkarni, MD, MPH, Irene and Dr. Arthur M. Fishberg Professor of Medicine at Icahn Mount Sinai, Director of The Charles Bronfman Institute of Personalized Medicine, and System Chief, Division of Data Driven and Digital Medicine (D3M), Department of Medicine.

Does this suggest that being vaccinated reduces the cardiovascular effects of the Covid infection you get later? It kind of makes sense, particularly considering the existence of all those receptors on endothelial cells (lining the blood vessels) that Covid particles bind too. It would seem unlikely that the vaccine is cardioprotective by itself.

I didn't do the study or even look at the data, but I'd guess being vaccinated reduces all adverse effects of the Covid infection you get later (although the study only looked at cardiovascular effects).

Associated may not mean there's "a link"… as it said, While we cannot attribute causality …

It's more like a documented set of coincidences that should be of interest to researchers.

And then there's that nagging issue with myocarditis and pericarditis that was also documented among younger vaccinated patients… another interesting coincidence.

When broken down by age groups, older Americans this is true, but for younger, healthy Americans the reverse is true. COVID, especially Omicron, is a minor threat to younger people, estimated 50% of those infected and under 50 yrs old did not realize they were infected

Did you have a point?
