31-05-2011Article from CIDRAP: Study boosts evidence that flu raises heart-attack risk
May 26, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – It has long been suspected that influenza increases the risk of heart attacks, but the connection has been nebulous because it's difficult to distinguish the effects of flu from the effects of cold weather, which prevails in flu season in temperate regions.
