It's been known for many years that the flu vaccine reduces heart attack incidence. The flu either causes lasting damage to the cardiovascular system or directly causes heart attacks.
This is perfectly well known and absolutely nothing new.
This study merely expands research on the topic (focus on bacteria+biofilm instead of flu).
So "Myocardial infarction may be an infectious disease" is a weird clickbait title. We know. We knew for a long time.
We also have quite a few of anti biofilm agents in IV formulations that could have an effect inside of the cardiovascular system if used in high dosages, but the molecules are old, cheap and unsexy, so no one will try. (ambroxol and NAC come to mind)
