Does influenza vaccination reduce the risk of death and ischaemic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes and planned percutaneous coronary interventions?
Influenza vaccination may significantly reduce the risk of death and ischemic events at 1 year in patients with acute coronary syndromes or undergoing planned PCI.
Influenza vaccination may reduce the risk of death and ischaemic events in patients suffering from infarction and post-angioplasty during flu season. This effect was significantly evident at 1-year follow-up. Larger confirmatory studies are needed to evaluate the real impact on flu vaccination on outcome after acute coronary syndromes.
