Is China a step closer to making vaccine for stroke and heart attack?


Published on Tuesday, March 11th 2025 at 11:02 GMT by Firstpost   Print publication without navigation

  • Researchers in China have developed a nanovaccine to prevent the buildup of plaque in arteries - atherosclerosis - that can result in blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. The vaccine was injected into mice that were fed a high-cholesterol diet.

The article from Firstpost discusses a study published in the journal *Nature* which suggests that the inactivated vaccines used in China against COVID-19 might increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up inside arteries, potentially leading to strokes and heart attacks. The study, conducted by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, found that these vaccines could trigger an immune response that accelerates the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. This research raises concerns about the long-term cardiovascular effects of these vaccines, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions or those at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. However, the study also notes that the overall benefits of vaccination in preventing severe COVID-19 outcomes still outweigh these potential risks, and further research is needed to understand the implications fully.
