Silent Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report
We present a case of a 59-year-old overweight woman with prediabetes, primary hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia who presented for herpes zoster (HZ) follow-up; she reported having skipped heartbeats and heart rate fluctuations during the review of systems. On further workup, ECG revealed low voltage QRS complexes, flat QRS complexes, flat T waves, and pathological Q waves, suggesting the diagnosis of SMI. Based on the identified risk factors, including high BMI, prediabetes, primary hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, HZ, and newly diagnosed SMI, the patient was advised to continue with lisinopril 20 mg daily, prescri...

Impact of influenza, herpes zoster, and pneumococcal vaccinations on the incidence of cardiovascular events in subjects aged over 65 years: a systematic review
Geroscience. 2023 Jun 3. doi: 10.1007/s11357-023-00807-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis systematic review aims to summarize the impact of vaccination against influenza, shingles, and pneumococcus on the incidence on the risk of cardiovascular events in the elderly. This protocol was developed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. We conducted a literature search and identified all relevant articles published regarding the matter up to September 2022. We retrieved 38 studies (influenza vaccine = 33, pneumococcal vaccine = 5, and zoster vaccine = 2). A total of 28 and 2 studies have shown that influenza and pneumococcal...

Effects of herpes zoster vaccination and antiviral treatment on the risk of stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that the HZV, but not antiviral treatment, decreases the odds of developing stroke.PMID:37265460 | PMC:PMC10231675 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2023.1176920

Trend in the Numbers of Hospitalized Patients With Varicella, Herpes Zoster, and Ischemic Stroke in Japanese Individuals & lt;20 Years of Age Before and After Implementation of Universal Varicella Vaccination
Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2023 Mar 20. doi: 10.1097/INF.0000000000003907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have shown an association between varicella-zoster virus infection and ischemic stroke. We analyzed the trends in the numbers of patients with varicella, herpes zoster and ischemic stroke before and after the universal vaccination program using a Japanese database of hospitalized patients. The number of patients with varicella decreased but those of herpes zoster and ischemic stroke did not change.PMID:36996309 | DOI:10.1097/INF.0000000000003907

Herpes zoster and long-term vascular risk: a retrospective cohort study
Sci Rep. 2023 Feb 9;13(1):2364. doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-29667-w.ABSTRACTHerpes zoster (HZ) represents a serious health problem in the general population due to its abundance and complications. Stroke and acute myocardial infarction are well-documented short-term complications of HZ, primarily due to vasculopathy in the cerebral and coronary arteries. However, no major study to date has specifically demonstrated that HZ is a long-term risk factor for all Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE). A retrospective cohort study was conducted analyzing the association between HZ and MACCE. We compared HZ patients...

Risk of, and risk factors for, vasculopathy associated with acute herpes zoster
We aimed to summarize the known risk of vasculopathy (stroke, myocardial infarction [MI], and transient ischemic attack [TIA]) after herpes zoster (HZ) and the impact of antiviral treatment and vaccination against HZ on the risk of vasculopathy.

Predictors of herpes zoster vaccination among Australian adults aged 65 and over
CONCLUSION(S): Further research is required to understand the barriers to HZ vaccine uptake. Increasing the funding eligibility for those who are at risk of complications from shingles, or lowering the age of eligibility, may increase vaccine coverage.PMID:36336528 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.10.064
