Who Knew<br />

When are Heart Attacks Most Likely to Occur?<br />

Heart attacks are most likely to happen in the winter, on a Monday, and just after<br />

waking up in the morning. Winter is connected to stress, infections in cholesterol<br />

levels, depression, and decreased activity. Those are some causes of heart attacks.<br />

Increased stress of returning to work is why it’s most likely to occur on a Monday.<br />

Rushes of stress upon waking up and having thinner blood in the mornings<br />

contribute to having heart attacks just after waking up. High blood pressure, heart<br />

rate, and blood vessel tone in the morning also contribute.<br />
