New Delhi: No link exists between heart dysfunction and COVID-19 booster vaccines available in India, said health experts on Wednesday. Social media is flooded with questions pertaining to whether boosters of the COVID-19 vaccine can lead to heart problems or heart attacks.
"This is a very thorny question because we do see heart attacks happening not just attacks, sometimes fluid around the heart, sometimes Arrhythmias of the heart after vaccination. But it is tough to confirm this because these were happening in the past also and because nearly everybody is getting vaccinated. A certain vaccine that is not available in India has found a definite link to heart dysfunction," Amrita Hospital, Cardiology, Professor & HOD Dr Vivek Chaturvedi told ANI.
