The risk appeared particularly high in vaccinated people who have also had Covid (which at this point is almost everyone), Spanish researchers found.
Being vaccinated against Covid sharply increased the risk heart attack patients would die or suffer heart failure after heart attacks, a new Spanish study shows.

Over a six-month period after their heart attacks, Covid vaccinated patients had nearly double the risk of unjabbed ones. The risk appeared concentrated in patients who were both vaccinated and had had Covid before their heart attacks.
The researchers examined outcomes from almost 1,000 heart attack patients from March 2020 through March 2023 in a Madrid hospital. They found vaccinated and previously infected patients had an over 50 percent higher risk of death or heart failure than unvaccinated people who had also been previously infected – and a 90 percent higher risk than those who were unvaccinated and previously uninfected.
The gap remained even after researchers adjusted for risk factors such as smoking, blood pressure and age.1 “The combination of vaccination and natural immunization against SARS-CoV2 may predispose to the development of severe heart failure,” they wrote. Most patients had received the mRNA jabs from Pfizer and Moderna.
The paper may help explain why post-Covid death rates remain persistently high in heavily vaccinated countries, belying the predictions of epidemiologists who expected death rates to fall below normal after the epidemic ended.
Heart attacks remain the top cause of death in most wealthy countries. Even a small increase in their long-term lethality would be enough to push overall mortality up notably.
The paper does not prove the Covid vaccines caused the extra deaths or cases of heart failure. But the researchers found that heart attack patients who were vaccinated and had recovered from Covid had about 31 times more anti-spike protein antibodies than unvaccinated patients who had been infected and recovered.
That vaccine-driven increase – or as, the researchers called it, an “enhanced serologic immune response” – could produce more inflammation and damage to the cardiovascular system, the researchers wrote.
They noted the vaccinated and immunized patients tended to present with more heart severe attacks on admission, and the link between severity and vaccination status was particularly notable in patients under 65.
Almost 85 percent of the vaccinated patients they followed had received the mRNA jabs from Pfizer and Moderna, with the rest getting the DNA/AAV vaccines from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, which were not widely used in the United States.
