Heart attack
My father got an acute heart attack ..his age is 68 years...now his condition is stable ,he is also a diabetic patient....we have consulted a cardiologist ....since his searum creatinine level was bit high around 1.7 so cardiologist didnot perform angiography .Now he taking medicines.Our cardiologist suggested vaccination for heart ....named pulmovac and vomimp .
I want to know about the vaccine ,is it good or any other side effects
Dear creatinine is elevated so consideration of angiography depends on many factors like severity of angina, ejection fraction of LV, Renal status,hydration etc.
Pt will need vaccination only if pt has pronness for lung infection..due to heart failure or low immunity or underlying lung disease..
