What makes you think Covid-19 isn't killing those patients?

Because as far as we know it’s respiratory and asymptomatic for many days.

Someone who has a heart attack during the asymptomatic period was probably going to have one anyway.

How are asymptomatic people having heart attacks being coded as covid-19 deaths?

As far as I know, asymptotic people aren't even being tested for covid-19, because of the test kits shortage.
