NEW DELHI: There is no direct link between Covid-19 vaccination and sudden deaths in the country, Union health ministry said Wednesday, a day after Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah claimed over 20 people had died of heart attack in a month in Hassan district. The CM said "hasty approval and distribution" of the vaccine could be a reason.
The Centre said studies by ICMR and AIIMS have established there was no link between the jabs and the deaths, adding, "Sudden cardiac deaths can result from many factors, including genetics, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions and post-Covid complications." tnn

Several studies worldwide have recently indicated that Covid vaccines could be a cause for the increasing number of heart attacks," the Karnataka CM had said, adding a committee of experts has been formed under the leadership of Dr Ravindranath, director of Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, to identify the exact cause and they have been instructed to submit a study report within 10 days.
Dr Amit Bhushan Sharma, cardiologist at Paras Health in Gurugram, said in most cases of cardiac arrest deaths, the root causes are underlying health conditions like undiagnosed coronary artery disease, inherited heart disorders, or lifestyle factors such as chronic stress, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity.
