Recent research suggests that the shingles vaccine does more than just prevent a painful rash. It may also be a key factor in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Dr. Adrian Poh (HMI OneCare) and Dr. Rohit Khurana (Harley Street Heart & Vascular Centre) highlight why this connection is vital for long-term wellness:

Inflammation Management: Preventing the viral flare-up of shingles helps reduce systemic inflammation, which is a known trigger for major cardiovascular events.

Targeted Protection: While the vaccine is crucial for avoiding complications like postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), it serves as an extra layer of defense for those already managing vascular risk factors.

Proactive Longevity: Integrating adult immunizations into your routine is a simple, effective way to support both neurological and heart health as you age.

Research found that vaccinated individuals were 46 per cent less likely to suffer major cardiac events. Doctors explain what the science says – and whether it’s a replacement for cardiac care just yet.

This story follows younger stroke survivors—and the unseen challenges that can linger long after discharge (fatigue, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating). Dr Rohit Khurana from The Harley Street Heart & Vascular Centre notes that strokes in younger patients are “very often” driven by a mix of lifestyle risk factors and an underlying medical condition—making early checks and risk-factor management especially important.
Take a few minutes to read, share, and check in on someone who might be recovering quietly.

More young adults in Singapore are experiencing strokes, and their recovery journeys are often challenging especially coupled with the pressure of getting back to work quickly or returning to a lifestyle they once enjoyed.

Great conversations with our GP community last Saturday at Capital Kempinski as Dr Peter Ting shared practical, guideline-aligned approaches to combination therapy in primary care. Key takeaways: earlier optimisation for better risk-factor control, simpler regimens to support adherence, and more sustained outcomes in chronic disease management.

Women's heart attack symptoms can be subtle - so trust what your body is telling you. Chest pain isn't the only sign. Look out for these unusual signs and if you feel 'off', don't just tough it out. Your heart matters and get it checked. Be proactive and schedule a heart screen.
