Shingles Shot, Heart Shield? 🛡️❤️

from Dr RR Baliga's "Got Knowledge Doc" Podkast · host MasterMedFacts LLC

💉 Shingles Shot, Heart Shield? 🛡️❤️ Could recombinant shingles vaccination protect more than the skin? In a natural experiment involving >72,000 matched adults ≥60 years, the recombinant vaccine was associated with 9% lower cardiovascular disease burden over 7 years, including lower burdens of ischemic heart disease and heart failure. 📉🫀 💡 Intriguingly, AS01-induced immune reprogramming and reduced IL-6 responses offer a potential mechanistic clue. ⚠️ Association ≠ causation—but this signal deserves randomized trials. #Cardiology #Vaccines #Prevention #MedicalPodcasts
