Doctors are warning of an “alarming” surge in heart attacks among healthy young Americans as new data shows the numbers are skyrocketing.
New data from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics shows heart attacks among 18-40-year-olds spiked massively in 2021.
The numbers have continued soaring through this year.
When compared to 2020, before the spike started, heart attacks among young people in 2023 were a staggering 60% higher.
In 2019, roughly 0.3% of Americans aged 18-44 had a heart attack.
However, 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.
Doctors are warning that the spike is “alarming.”
It also means that one in five heart attack patients are now younger than 40.
Traditionally, a number of factors have been linked to heart attacks, including rampant drug use, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and bad diets.
However, a growing number of doctors are now noting that the timing strongly implies the Covid pandemic, or more specifically the mRNA “vaccines,” played a role.
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.”
The Covid mRNA “vaccines” made by Pfizer and Moderna have also been shown to cause heart inflammation, specifically in young men and boys.
This heart inflammation, called myocarditis, causes blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, cardiac arrests, and ultimately death.
Dr Laxmi Mehta, the director of Preventative Cardiology and Women’s Cardiovascular Health at The Ohio State University said:
“It is alarming that younger people don’t feel that they’re at risk for heart disease but it’s not surprising.
“Most young people think heart disease only happens in old people but that’s not the case.”
A 2024 study from Duke found the number of people of all ages who died from heart failure has been steadily increasing.
Heart failure deaths have increased from 82 deaths per 100,000 people in 2012 to 106 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021.
That rise was greatest in adults under 45, who saw a 905 percent increase in the number of people who died from a heart complication over the nine-year study period.
Dr. Susan Cheng is a cardiologist at Cedars Sinai who authored a 2023 study that found heart attack deaths in people 25 to 44 increased by nearly 30 percent after the Covid mRNA “vaccines” were rolled out for public use in early 2021.
“Young people are obviously not really supposed to die of a heart attack,” Dr. Cheng warned.
“They’re not really supposed to have heart attacks at all.”
Meanwhile, a major recent study concluded that Covid vaccines” are the sole cause of a surge in heart attacks among children.
The new large-scale study from renowned scientists at the prestigious University of Oxford has just confirmed that myocarditis and pericarditis only appear in children and adolescents after Covid vaccination and not after infection from the virus.
The study looked at the official government data of more than 1 million English children and adolescents aged between five and 11 and 12 and 15.
In detailing their findings, the researchers wrote:
“All myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals.”
The study also noted that hospitalization related to COVID-19 was extremely rare among children and adolescents.
Additionally, there were no deaths from the virus recorded among the entire subject population.
