The relationship between influenza and cardiovascular events was described in an early study of influenza epidemics from 1915 to 1929 including the 1918-1920 pandemic. Retrospective studies have shown increased risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the first week following an infection with influenza. Biochemical markers of cardiac injury such as high sensitive cardiac troponins may be increased during infection with influenza. Increased levels of cardiac troponins are associated with adverse outcome in many different populations.
