Note: vaccines are safe ( so long you don't have a pre-existing condition). I am not saying vaccines are bad by any means.

My only question is what part of the infection would cause this to occur?

Covid-19 causes inflamation, and can cause inflamation that damages blood vessels and the heart.

The published paper here:

It is notable the greatest increase happened after the introduction of the vaccine. Also the greatest increase was in the younger age groups, also known to be the case with the vaccine. (Yes, it is admitted by the CDC the vaxx causes heart issues. The only dispute is if the vaxx or COVID causes more.)

To confirm the link to the vaccine further the researchers should look at even younger age groups, such as under 25. If this also shows the worse heart effects, that strongly implies the vaccine is the cause.

Also, note the researchers did not record vaccine status. So they can not determine whether there is a vaccine link. Clearly, they should review the health records to include this data to make that determination.
