Heart attacks in American young people under 44 years of age have surged an “alarming” 66% since 2020, with experts blaming a sharp rise in myocarditis (heart inflammation) during the pandemic. The Mail has the story.
Heart attacks were once thought of as a disease of age – but worrying new data shows they are increasing in healthy young adults.
Roughly 0.3% of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack in 2019 – but last year that rose to 0.5%, or one in 200.
While that may still seem like a relatively low number, it represents a 66% increase in cases in just four years, which doctors call “alarming”. It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40.
A number of factors are thought to be at play including rampant drug use, obesity, sedentary lifestyles and bad diets. But the timing strongly implies the Covid pandemic has played a role.
The virus itself causes widespread inflammation in the body that can damage the heart or lead to blood clots. Depression, anxiety and stress also surged among young people during lockdowns – and all three have been linked to heart attacks.
Dr. Deepak Bhatt, the Director of the Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital, told TODAY: “There are definitely more younger people coming in with heart attacks.
“There’s data to back that up. What’s driving that is more controversial.”
There were millions fewer visits to doctors during the early years of the pandemic, which means chronic conditions that may contribute to heart disease risk went unnoticed.
An increase in the number of young people developing type 2 diabetes, which is associated with thicker and stickier blood which raises the risk of blood clots and, in turn, heart attacks.
But in many doctors’ view, the timing is simply too coincidental for Covid not to be involved.
Studies have shown that, once in the body, the virus can cause the heart to become inflamed, a condition known as myocarditis, leading to damage that makes it harder to pump blood around the body.
Over time, in extreme cases, this can damage the organ to the point it becomes too weak to adequately pump enough blood to the rest of your body, causing heart failure.
The Covid vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna have also been shown to cause heart inflammation in rare cases, specifically young men and boys.
But real-world research has shown the risk of having this reaction to a vaccine is much lower than the risk you take not getting vaccinated in the first place – because severe Covid is much more likely to damage the heart.
Worth reading in full.
Note that Dr. Deepak Bhatt says what’s driving it is “more controversial”, without explaining what’s so “controversial” about it. Presumably he’s referring to the vaccines, which despite being shown in studies to cause heart damage across the board and myocarditis in up to one in 27 are mentioned in the Mail report only in passing as causing a “rare” side-effect. The report also repeats the canard that the vaccine harm is to be contrasted with Covid harm, as though vaccination prevents COVID-19, when it doesn’t of course (numerous studies have shown increased infection rates in the vaccinated) and the risks must be added.
A recent Spanish study found a 50% increase in death and heart failure among vaccinated patients who’d previously had both Covid and a heart attack compared to equivalent unvaccinated patients, a result consistent with vaccines having a strong independent impact on serious heart conditions. The authors indicate this may be linked to the fact that the vaccinated had about 31 times more anti-spike protein antibodies in their blood than the unvaccinated, which can increase inflammation.

It isn’t a relatively low number.
There are roughly 100 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 44.
O.2% of 100 million is 200,000.
That’s 200,000 more heartattacks.
Does no one remember what used to be said about just 1 covid dearh?
Tto use a comparison the BBC employed to scare the crap out of everyone, that is 5 times the number of civilian deaths in the UK during the whole of WW2. 5 tines more!
It’s also 4 tunes the number of US soldiers that died during the Vietnam War.
Or 100 9/11s.
In one year.
Just saying.
Indeed. It’s not the number it’s the incidence. The incidence is significantly higher than previously.
“But in many doctors’ view, the timing is simply too coincidental for
CovidVaccines not to be involved.”“The virus itself causes widespread inflammation in the body that can damage the heart or lead to blood clots.”
Oh aye – not the Safe&Effective™️ “vaccine” then.
Furthermore it would be very unusual to deliberately infect someone with the covid bug. However, injecting them with a ‘vaccine’ can hardly be accidental. The risks are not comparable at all.
No, the article emphasises that it is a relatively high number (66%). It may be a low number in absolute terms.
It is important to maintain the distinction between relative risk and absolute risk. 66% more of bugger-all is still bugger-all. 66% more of too many is far too many.
I would be thinking about it like I enjoy exercise but every time I get my heart rate up I am shaking up those nasty spikes which have already eaten through the heart lining. It is a big loss to people who are devoted to some sort of physical culture to know that they can’t take part it again because they might croak it. This bioweapon whilst not dramatic is very cruel and takes its time doing damage. Same with the turbo cancers. So fast that you don’t even have time to get your affairs in order and to say goodbye. Just a few weeks of demeaning agonising pain. They reduce you before they kill you.
It’s a good job that we have proper and honest data as regrds the jabbed v. nnever jabbed’s heart problems otherwise some conspiracy theorists may think that the modified mRNA jabs could just possibly be to blame.

Apologies for the repetition but Denis Rancourt’s analysis of mortality data from 125 countries over the three-year Covid period (2020-2022) conclusively ‘proves’, firstly, there was no virus and, secondly, the so-called ‘vaccines’ were globally responsible for 17 million deaths: https://denisrancourt.ca/entries.php?id=139&name=2024_07_19_spatiotemporal_variation_of_excess_all_cause_mortality_in_the_world_125_countries_during_the_covid_period_2020_2023_regarding_socio_economic_factors_and_public_health_and_medical_interventions.
Myocarditis is well known to be one of the many side-effects of these glorious ‘vaccines’.
