Caused infections of strokes and hearts

Infections such as lung inflammation and urinary lesions can, in a three - month period after infection, increase the risk of heart attack or utero stroke, suggests a new study.

The risk of heart and stroke was higher in the first two weeks after infection. Infections cause an inflammatory reaction in the body, thus causing the production of white blood cells to help remove the infection, but this process increases the adeness of blood clots and leads to blood clots that can block blood flow into the heart or brain.

The more severe an infection, even more powerful is the inflammatory response to it, which increases the risk of cardiovascular events, experts say. It should be noted that the link between infection and heart and brain attacks has to do with all kinds of infections, not just lung or urinary inflammation.
