They found a spike in rates of STEMI heart attacks at the start of the working week, with rates highest on a Monday.Previous studies suggesting that heart attacks are more likely on a Monday have highlighted an association with circadian rhythm – the body’s sleep or wake cycle.It requires emergency assessment and treatment to minimise damage to the heart, and this is normally performed with emergency angioplasty – a procedure to reopen the blocked coronary artery.
“We’ve found a strong statistical correlation between the start of the working week and the incidence of STEMI,” he said. Prof Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation , described the research as vital.
