The Impact of Vaccinations Against Respiratory Infections on the Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure (HF) affects 64 million people worldwide and is one of the most prevalent causes of hospitalization in adults. Infection is believed to be one of the potential triggers that may facilitate HF decompensation and the need for hospitalization. Therefore, it seems crucial to safeguard agai...

| description | Heart failure (HF) affects 64 million people worldwide and is one of the most prevalent causes of hospitalization in adults. Infection is believed to be one of the potential triggers that may facilitate HF decompensation and the need for hospitalization. Therefore, it seems crucial to safeguard against such a situation. Vaccinations seem to be a very reasonable option. However, this remains an underutilized solution among HF patients. This review investigates the impact of available vaccinations, including influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal, and RSV, on prognosis in specific HF populations only, as there are pathophysiological reasons to believe that this population of patients may benefit the most from the intervention. It will provide information about the safety profile of these vaccines and summarize the available evidence on their impact on hard clinical outcomes. In summary, this article will discuss the impact of preventive vaccinations against seasonal infections in the HF population. |
