Vaccine to stop heart attacks could be here in 5 years | Longevity science | Scoop.it
A vaccine delivered in an injection or nasal spray to prevent heart attacks could be available within five years. The vaccine can cut the build up of fat in arteries by up to 70 per cent, according to tests by researchers at Lund University in Sweden. The fatty deposits cause arteries to narrow, meaning the body has to work harder to pump blood, and can lead to a heart attack.

 

Prof Peter Weissberg, the British Heart Foundation medical director, said the vaccine was "very promising".
