Summary
A groundbreaking study by Finnish and UK researchers reveals that myocardial infarction (heart attack) may be an infectious disease, challenging conventional medical understanding. The research found that atherosclerotic plaques in coronary artery disease can harbor asymptomatic bacterial biofilms, suggesting infections may trigger heart attacks. This discovery opens new possibilities for treatment approaches, diagnostic methods, and even vaccine development against heart disease.
