CHRONIC HEART DISEASE AND PNEUMOCOCCAL PNEUMONIA

If you're living with chronic heart disease, you may be at higher risk for this potentially serious bacterial lung disease. 


Understand your risk.
​​​​​​​
Chronic heart disease can cause fluid to build up in different parts of your body. One place where fluid can build up is in the lungs. That can make it harder to defend against potentially serious lung diseases including pneumococcal pneumonia. 

Living with chronic heart disease may put you at greater risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, compared to healthy adults in the same age range. If you’re living with more than one condition, your risk may be even higher.
