Agreed, but heart attacks are on the rise and the question is why? It's likely something related to covid-19 but what? It could be lifestyle changes, the virus itself, vaccines, some combination of those, or ???

I know it proves nothing, but have never had someone come up to me and tell me a young, fit, relative dropping dead unexpectedly from a heart attack before this year and I am not exactly a spring chicken.

FWIW: The last data I can find on the CDC website is from 2019. You would think it would be a simple thing to find and verify (number before pandemic versus number after). Heart disease trends are closely watched. BUT I can't find the hard data and I will keep looking.
This is related to the US, but the increase seems to be worldwide (no hard numbers included):

"Heart attack instances rose in 2021 with age no bar"
