"A new analysis adds to the research about the link between viral infections
and heart disease. A number of viral infections, including flu, Covid-19 and
shingles, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new
study affirmed.

The risk of a heart attack triples within the first few weeks after a Covid-19
infection, the study suggested, and quadruples in the month after a flu
infection. The study, published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart
Association
, was a large review and analysis of existing research."
