Influenza flu can trigger Heart attacks

Influenza flu can trigger deadly heart attacks, researchers said in a study that supports this conclusion.

The seasonal virus can even worsen heart disease and that deaths from heart attacks and heart disease are far more common during flu season.

Flu viruses change every year and several are usually circulating in any given season, making the risk of flu high for most people.Deaths from heart attacks have been increased by a third in flu epidemic weeks as compared to any non-epidemic weeks and this concludes that the
chances of dying from chronic heart disease increased by a tenth.


Flu is conclusively an important cause of heart attacks. flu on the whole is a severe infection, with high incidence rates and is readily preventable.
