Is it true that influenza infection increases the short-term risk of heart attack?

Yes. The CDC states that research suggests influenza infection raises the risk of heart attack, citing a 2018 study finding people were six times more likely to have a heart attack in the week after flu diagnosis. A separate systematic review also reports influenza significantly increases the risk of acute coronary syndromes, particularly in the elderly and those with underlying heart disease.
