AB  - BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular mortality is decreasing but remains the leading cause 
      of death world-wide. Respiratory infections such as influenza significantly 
      contribute to morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. 
      Despite of proven benefits, influenza vaccination is not fully implemented, 
      especially in Latin America. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to develop a regional 
      consensus with recommendations regarding influenza vaccination and cardiovascular 
      disease. METHODS: A multidisciplinary team composed by experts in the management 
      and prevention of cardiovascular disease from the Americas, convened by the 
      Inter-American Society of Cardiology (IASC) and the World Heart Federation (WHF), 
      participated in the process and the formulation of statements. The modified 
      RAND/UCLA methodology was used. This document was supported by a grant from the 
      WHF. RESULTS: An extensive literature search was divided into seven questions, 
      and a total of 23 conclusions and 29 recommendations were achieved. There was no 
      disagreement among experts in the conclusions or recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: 
      There is a strong correlation between influenza and cardiovascular events. 
      Influenza vaccination is not only safe and a proven strategy to reduce 
      cardiovascular events, but it is also cost saving. We found several barriers for 
      its global implementation and potential strategies to overcome them.
