Myocardial infarction, otherwise known as a heart attack, is a known adverse event associated with COVID-19 vaccines.[1]
A heart attack is not the same as a cardiac arrest, though many cardiac arrests in adults happen because of a heart attack.[2]
Examples
The following is a list of individuals who have publicly reported suffering a notable heart attack in 2021-2023. Inclusion on this list does not mean that the adverse event is confirmed to have been caused by a COVID-19 vaccine product.
Mass casualty events
On October 23, 2023, New Delhi Television (NDTV) reported that "at least 10 heart attack deaths" had been reported in the prior 24 hour period at Garba events across Gujarat, India. The youngest confirmed victim was 17 years old. Over 500 ambulance calls were made in the same period.[6]
