Hep C & Your Heart
« on: May 14, 2015, 11:11:09 am »
New research from EASL 2015 confirms that people with the hepatitis C virus are at a slightly increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Specifically, the HCV increased the odds for acute myocardial infarction (read: heart attack) by 2.29-fold, coronary artery disease (a build-up of potentially heart attack-causing plaque) by 1.88-fold and congestive heart failure (where the heart stops pumping blood as well as it should) by 1.08-fold.
