			著者: Mamas Andreas Mamas, Doug Fraser, Ludwig Neyses 雑誌名: Int J Cardiol. 2008 Nov 28;130(3):304-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2008.04.044. Epub 2008 Jul 14. Abstract/Text Influenza accounts for 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to 300,000 deaths annually. Cardiovascular involvement in acute influenza infection can occur through direct effects of the virus on the myocardium or through exacerbation of existing cardiovascular disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between influenza epidemics and cardiovascular mortality and a decrease in cardiovascular mortality in high risk patients has been demonstrated following vaccination with influenza vaccine. Influenza is a recognised cause of myocarditis which can lead to significant impairment of cardiac function and mortality. With recent concerns regarding another potential global pandemic of influenza the huge potential for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is discussed.
