Heart Attacks Are More Likely to Happen on a Monday

Scientists say you're more likely to have a heart attack on Monday than on any other day of the week.

Scientists say you’re more likely to have a heart attack on Monday than on any other day of the week.  They say the likelihood of a heart attack occurring is 13 per cent greater on the first day of the work week.  It’s because of the stress that comes with going back to work after a relaxing weekend.  Doctors and surgeons out of Ireland studied over 10,000 people and also found that heart attacks are more prevalent the days following the clocks going forward for daylight savings time.  More research is needed but they add that is has something to do with how the circadian rhythm affects circulating hormones.
