Vascular Event Risk After Herpes Zoster
We have read the article by Patterson et  al1 published in the April 2019 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The authors performed an interesting study using propensity score to evaluate the cardiovascular disease risk during the prodromal period and aggregate period of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. The incidence rate calculated according to the time line before and after the index date also provided valuable information on the following cardiovascular risk. Evidence from large population-based studies suggests a transiently increased risk of stroke after HZ.
