“Some of the cholesterol medications that we prescribe to patients with atherosclerotic disease protect the coronavirus because it acts on the blood vessels.” This is what cardiologist Prof. Borislav Georgiev told BNT. This is the best period for the flu vaccine: September, October.
“It turns out that people who take cholesterol-lowering drugs, statins, are more protected. We fight with people to make sure the drugs we prescribe for cholesterol are helpful,” he said.
According to him, all infections act in a similar way on the cardiovascular system. He added that prevention of influenza, from the point of view of the cardiovascular system, is the best that has been established in recent decades. “It’s better than an acute heart attack,” he said.
“It should be clear in people’s minds that the flu vaccine is not 100% to avoid getting sick, but if a person gets sick, he passes the disease lightly, standing up, without even realizing it, it eliminates infections and Pneumonia affecting influenza of the cardiovascular system, “explained Prof. Georgiev.
He said vaccines for people 65 and older had increased by 50% this year. “Now there are 180,000 and it would be very good if the population were vaccinated now. At some point, the question begins whether the symptoms are flu or something else,” he warned.
“At the time we launched the campaign to explain to the public about the flu vaccine, anti-vaccines were coming out, explaining that it was dangerous and would not work,” he said.
“Not everyone who has antibodies can donate blood plasma, the amount of antibodies is important,” explained the cardiologist.
