Swine flu H1N1 is a novel strain of Influenza A virus that is evolved by genetic reassortment and its infection in human being can lead to varying degree of respiratory infections ranging from mild flu to severe and life-threatening pneumonia, bronchitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome with high mortality [1].Epidemiologic studies have noted an increase in cardiovascular deaths during influenza epidemics indicating that cardiovascular complications of influenza infection, including exacerbation of heart failure, acute ischemic heart disease, and less often acute myocarditis, are important contributors to morbidity and mortality during influenza infection. This effect was observed in both genders at all age groups [2].A study in the United States has previously estimated that influenza causes up to 92000 deaths per year by triggering Acute Myocardial
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
