The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just published a study claiming that Covid and stress are to blame for the unprecedented soaring numbers of sudden heart failure-related deaths that have been recorded since 2021.
Researchers from Democrat President Joe Biden’s CDC teamed up with the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine for the study.

In a research article on their study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the researchers blamed the pandemic-era rise in the U.S. cardiovascular disease death rate on disruptions in access to healthcare, stress, and the lingering effects of COVID-19.
The article’s authors confirmed the “significant uptick in the cardiovascular disease death rate.”
The researchers also note that the trend “reverses improvements achieved in the decade before the COVID-19 pandemic.”
They suggested several possible explanations for the reversal of the decades-long progress in driving down cardiovascular deaths — including emerging evidence that COVID-19 infections can directly damage the heart and blood vessels and studies indicating COVID-19 survivors face increased cardiovascular risks for up to a year.
Patient hesitancy and reduced access to routine healthcare early in the pandemic may have also delayed critical prevention and treatment, they said.
The researchers did not explore the role of mRNA vaccines in their analysis of recent trends in cardiovascular disease.
However, they noted that death rates remained high in 2022 despite hospitalizations declining and COVID-19 vaccines being widely available.
