Heart failure patients who have taken Covid vaccine likely to live longer, Study

Patients with heart failure who are vaccinated against Covid-19 are 82 per cent more likely to live longer than those who are not vaccinated, a new study said on Saturday.

The study presented at Heart Failure 2024, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), used the Korean



National Health Insurance Service database to obtain information on vaccinations and clinical outcomes.

Participants who received two or more doses of the Covid-19 vaccine were described as “vaccinated”, and those who were not vaccinated or had received just one dose were defined as “unvaccinated”.
