       Mount Sinai Scientists Uncover Link Between Influenza and Heart
       Disease
       New study results could lead to mRNA therapeutic to reduce the
       risk of cardiac damage (press release)
       (February 09, 2026)
       Mount Sinai researchers have identified a cellular mechanism
       linking infections from influenza A viruses (IAVs) to
       cardiovascular disease, providing critical insights on how
       influenza can damage the heart and increase the risk of a heart
       attack or other major cardiovascular event.
       Through its work with mouse models and human data, the team also
       provided evidence that a cutting-edge modified mRNA treatment
       that dampens an interferon signaling pathway in the heart can
       significantly mitigate cardiac damage following viral infection
       while preserving the protective antiviral response of the immune
       system. The study was published in the February 9 issue of
       Immunity.
       “We have known for years that the frequency of heart attacks
       increases during flu season, yet outside of clinical intuition,
       scant evidence exists of the underlying mechanisms of that
       phenomenon,”...
