AIIMS-ICMR Study Debunks Covid-19 Vaccine Link to Heart Attacks in Young Adults
The AIIMS-ICMR study underscores the importance of addressing lifestyle-related risk factors to improve public health outcomes
A collaborative study by AIIMS-Delhi and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has found no connection between Covid-19 vaccination and sudden heart attacks in young adults. The research, published on Thursday, addresses concerns about vaccine-related cardiac risks, particularly among younger populations.
The study revealed that nearly 50% of the individuals examined had a history of smoking and alcohol consumption, which a cardiologist involved in the research highlighted as significant risk factors for heart-related issues. These lifestyle factors, rather than vaccination, were more closely associated with the observed cardiac events.
Conducted under rigorous scientific protocols, the AIIMS-ICMR study analyzed data to assess potential links between Covid-19 vaccines and sudden cardiac deaths, concluding that the vaccines do not contribute to such incidents. The findings aim to dispel misinformation and reinforce confidence in the safety of Covid-19 vaccination programs in India.

This research aligns with global studies, such as those reported by the American College of Cardiology, which have similarly found no evidence linking Covid-19 vaccines to increased heart attack risks in young adults. The AIIMS-ICMR study underscores the importance of addressing lifestyle-related risk factors to improve public health outcomes.
