The start of the working week isn't viewed with any particular fondness by most of us already, and now there's another reason to not look forward to Mondays: it's the day when the most severe type of heart attack is most likely to happen.
That's based on an analysis of 10,528 patients in Ireland and Northern Ireland admitted to hospital between 2013 and 2018 with an ST-segment elevationAccording to the data, there was a 13 percent greater risk of a STEMI-type heart attack on a Monday, compared with the average of the other days, with more than 1,650 of the patients turning up on that day.
in Sweden involving more than 156,000 patients showed a greater incidence of heart attacks on Mondays, as well as during the winter months. The researchers behind that study suggested that stress could be part of the reason why.the cause is likely multifactorial. However,"based on what we know from previous studies, it is reasonable to presume a circadian element".
That means the natural cycle of the days, weeks, and seasons is likely to be having an impact on our heart health.
