An increase in heart attack rates has been observed in Lebanon and worldwide, and a link has been established between these infections and people who have received the Covid-19 vaccine, and it was thought that the vaccine was the cause.

According to Professor 'Tony Abdel Massih', a cardiologist at Hôtel-Dieu De France Hospital, what is certain so far is that Covid-19 itself presents cardiovascular risks. So, it is not about questioning the interest of vaccines. It is clear that people who were infected with the virus were more likely to suffer from heart attacks and strokes (CVA). It has also been shown that most heart attacks occurred without any obstruction of the arteries, and we believe that this is due to myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle) following an infection with the virus. Therefore, we confirm that the vaccine reduces the risk of developing a severe form of the virus if you contract it, and it decreases your risks of suffering long-term vascular damage. Therefore, it is important to get vaccinated.

Similarly, Professor 'Abdel Massih' added that despite the appearance of cases that are not accompanied by risk factors or causes, it is not possible to confirm to what extent we are at risk of heart problems after receiving a Covid vaccine, in the absence of in-depth scientific studies.

'Abdel Massih' concluded that high cholesterol levels, smoking, and stress pose a threat to heart health and contribute to increasing the rates of heart attacks, clots, and blocked arteries.
