COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, can damage heart muscle and affect heart function.
There are several reasons for this. The cells in the heart have angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptors where the coronavirus attaches before entering cells. Heart damage can also be due to high levels of inflammation circulating in the body. As the body’s immune system fights off the virus, the inflammatory process can damage some healthy tissues, including the heart.
Coronavirus infection also affects the inner surfaces of veins and arteries, which can cause blood vessel inflammation, damage to very small vessels and blood clots, all of which can compromise blood flow to the heart or other parts of the body. “Severe COVID-19 is a disease that affects endothelial cells, which form the lining of the blood vessels,” Post says.

A basic statistical analysis will show us that it's impossible to attribute this to the vax simply because the data required to cross reference it with vax status is not included.
A basic structural analysis will show us that the overall curve (Representing the trend over time) has not significantly altered. Meaning that the time of year when the most or least cardiac incidents occur is largely unchanged. If this were vax related you'd expect to see a change in the curve relating to times of high vaxxing.
The US has an ageing population, so more people are moving into the age groups where cardiac problems become an issue. Couple that with the propensity of Americans to get fat.

I'd have 1,2 or 3 in a 8-12 hr ER shift. And not every day

What is wrong here, what is going on?
Instead of blaming this on vaccinations, why not look at the obvious.

Is the ability to think issues through being lost to the "it must be the jab" school of intellectual stupidity?

Once a day?
You sure?

Not in the UK, then?
Why are there so many cardiac arrests?
