As the world welcomes in the new year, scientists are claiming a new Covid-19 variant known as “JN.1,” could, in their analysis, trigger a “heart failure pandemic.”
GBN reported on this December 29th, and has since gone viral for the claims the piece makes.
India’s WION also published an identical report.
GBN’s report is as follows:
Scientists have warned a new strain of Covid could cause potential heart issues. Research into the the new strain known as JN.1, could cause “global healthcare risk” related to COVID-19, stating that it could start a “heart failure pandemic.”
Health experts have warned that there is an increase in the chances of potential heart issues for those who catch the disease.
Due to the influx of a new strain JN.1, there has been a spike in Covid cases in several countries, including the US, UK, China, and India in recent weeks

This means many people who catch the virus may suffer from ‘reduced cardiac function’.
Health officials are warning that combined with a rising number of flu cases, this winter may see a significant increase in illness cases. This comes ahead of crowded social events for New Year’s celebrations.
The report states:
Even though conclusive clinical evidence that persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with declined cardiac function has not been reported so far, the proof-of-concept study of the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 persistent infection of the heart and the potential risk of opportunistic progression of heart failure should be validated by a three-dimensional human cardiac tissue model which would serve as the alarm bell for a global healthcare risk.
It comes as NHS leaders said there has been surge in the number of flu and Covid admissions to hospitals in England…
