A recent study published in the science journal Heart has revealed that Covid-19 vaccines play a crucial role in reducing the risk of heart diseases and clots caused by the coronavirus disease.
The study, which followed 20 million participants from England, Spain, and Estonia for a year, showed that after 3 to 6 months, vaccinated individuals who contracted the virus had a 39 percent lower risk of heart failure and a 47 percent lower risk of vein clots compared to unvaccinated individuals.
Experts believe that this publication serves as a response to claims suggesting that Covid-19 vaccines may increase the risk of heart attacks. The study highlights that the main reason for the reduced risk of heart diseases and clots in vaccinated individuals is the vaccine’s ability to lessen the severity of the coronavirus infection.
Cardiology Specialist Prof. Dr. Ramazan Özdemir emphasized the significance of the study, stating that vaccinated individuals are less likely to experience cardiological complications and thrombo-embolic events when reinfected with Covid-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals. He also noted that rare events such as heart attacks and brain and lung clots are significantly lower in vaccinated individuals, even during the most critical phases of the disease.
Furthermore, Dr. Özdemir stressed the protective nature of the vaccine, highlighting its role in preventing the effects and complications of Covid-19. He emphasized that the vaccine remains a life-saving tool, with its benefits continuing even after 180 days post-infection.
In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of Covid-19 vaccination in reducing the risk of heart diseases and clots associated with the disease. It serves as a testament to the effectiveness of vaccines in mitigating the impact of Covid-19 on individuals’ cardiovascular health.
