People bear greater risks for stroke or myocardial infarction substantially if they have been elevated after suffering from a respiratory infection. This phenomenon is particularly prominent during the first 7 days of such elevation.
This was the major finding of a recent research study that was conducted to obtain possible results after monitoring specified case-controls. Tim Clayton and his colleague researchers at the ‘London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK’, also published their research findings in the “European Heart Journal”.
“Even though the observed percentage of myocardial infarctions and stroke which resulted from respiratory infection is low, with less than 2% among cases, the absolute number of myocardial infarctions and stroke which could potentially be prevented is substantial, because these are common conditions,” says Tim Clayton in the research paper.
