「双语」最新研究：为什么心脏病患者更需要接种流感疫苗？(4)

预防、早期发现是关键
纽约市的格林说，为了帮助将心脏病发作的风险降至最低，所有人都应该从40岁开始进行心血管筛查，如果家族中有早期心脏病病史，则应该更早进行。To help minimize the risk of heart attacks, all people should have a cardiovascular screening starting at age 40, or earlier if there is a history of early heart disease in the family, said Greene of New York City.

她说：“我还建议所有有潜在冠状动脉疾病、支架病史、心脏病发作史和心力衰竭史的患者每年接种流感疫苗”。“心血管疾病患者在感染流感病毒时，可以从流感疫苗中获得更大的益处，从而预防心脏病发作。”"I also recommend that all patients with underlying coronary artery disease, history of stents, history of heart attack and history of heart failure have their annual flu shot," she said."Cardiovascular patients see a larger benefit from influenza vaccination in terms of protection against a heart attack should they become infected with the influenza virus."
新泽西州的Bober说，这些发现应该提醒我们，看似普通的感冒可能会演变成严重的医疗问题。他补充道：“任何有胸痛或呼吸急促的人，尤其是那些有潜在心脏病、肺病、糖尿病或肾病等高风险疾病的人，都应该尽早就医”。These findings should serve as a reminder that seemingly common colds can turn into serious medical issues, Bober of New Jersey said. "Anyone with concerning chest pain or shortness of breath — especially those with high-risk medical conditions such as underlying heart disease, lung conditions, diabetes or kidney disease — should seek medical attention sooner rather than later," he added.
