Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed the drug information for copaxone fully. The side effects of Copaxone are related to the drugs only and in no way cause a disease state or would last beyond the treatment duration. They do not as well worsen any existing heart problem.

In all, no long term consequences on the heart.

I wish you well.
