The Corona epidemic has remained a health risk for more than four years. Even though the pace of infection seems to be under control at the global level these days, researchers say that everyone should continue to be cautious about the dangers of corona. There is continuous mutation in coronavirus due to which there is always a risk of new variants emerging.
However, widespread coronavirus vaccination campaigns around the world and herd immunity created by natural infection have reduced the severity of the infection over time. Regarding the effects of the Covid-19 vaccine on the body, some reports were saying that the vaccine may hurt heart health, however, this claim was rejected in later studies.
In a recent study conducted on the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, researchers reported that the vaccine does not have any negative effect on heart health, rather these vaccines have been found to protect against the risks of heart failure.
Effect of Covid-19 vaccine on heart
The COVID-19 vaccine is believed to protect against corona infection and the serious health risks caused by it. Researchers say, if vaccinated people become victims of infection, they have less risk of hospitalization or death. In a recent study conducted to find out the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine, scientists have said that these vaccines can also help reduce the risks of heart failure.
Researchers at the University of Oxford in England reported that people who have received COVID-19 vaccines have a lower risk of heart failure than those who have not been vaccinated.
The risk of heart inflammation and blood clotting also reduces
According to the report of this study published in Heart Journal, it is seen to protect the heart for one year after vaccination. It helps reduce heart inflammation and blood clots for about 10-12 months after vaccination.
The authors said, that since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a lot of discussion about the possibility of blood clotting problems in people infected with the coronavirus. Now this research has claimed that with the help of vaccines, these serious side effects of corona can be prevented.
What do scientists say?
Our findings reinforce the fact that vaccines are effective in reducing infections and also reduce serious risks, says Nuria Mercad Besora, professor in orthopedics, rheumatology, and musculoskeletal sciences at the university and one of the study's lead authors. These results become even more important for those who are concerned about the potential risk of side effects from the vaccine.
Researchers analyzed health data from more than 20 million people living in the United Kingdom, Spain, and Estonia. About half the people were administered shots made by BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson. These vaccines have been said to be very beneficial for the heart.
No side effects of the vaccine
In earlier studies, health experts had expressed concern that the condition of corona infection seriously harms heart health, there can be a risk of blood clotting, which also increases the risk of heart attack. Although no such side effects have been observed due to the vaccine, the COVID-19 vaccine can be beneficial for the heart. There is no need to worry about the vaccine, it is completely safe.
