My admittedly limited all round medical/heart attack knowledge notwithstanding, there are heart attacks, heart attacks, and heart attacks.
One of the less common ones, in normal times, is called a Hypoxic one. Survival rates are rare. (6%). Reason they are so fatal is they are caused not by a fault to the heart, but a sudden and immediate lack of oxygen to said heart. So it stops, immediately. And as the reason why it is so fatal, is the reason why it stops is not obvious, usually. So it takes more time to fix the underlying issue, so heart/body is dead, for longer.
Covid causes a Hypoxic heart attack by attacking/infecting, the lungs.
Regular readers will understand why I know that.
