London, June 5 (Ians) Fatal heart attacks are more likely to happen at the start of the working week than at any other time, according to new research.
The study, presented at the British Cardiovascular Society (Bcs) conference in Manchester, UK, found that the likelihood of a heart attack occurring on a Monday was 13 per cent greater than expected.
Doctors at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland analysed data of 10,528 patients across the island of Ireland admitted to hospital between 2013 and 2018 with the most serious type of heart attack known as an St-segment elevation myocardial infarction (Stemi).
Stemi occurs when a major coronary artery is completely blocked.
The researchers found a spike in rates of Stemi heart attacks at the start of the working week, with rates highest on a Monday. There were also higher rates of Stemi than expected on a Sunday.

London, May 12 (Ians) The UK researchers have developed a novel algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI) that may one day help doctors diagnose heart attacks quickly and with precision.
According to researchers from the University of Edinburgh, the new algorithm, called CoDe-acs, was able to rule out a heart attack in more than double the number of patients, with an accuracy of 99.6 per cent in comparison to current testing methods.
CoDe-acs may also greatly help in reducing hospital admissions and rapidly identify patients that are safe to go home. The findings are published in the journal Nature Medicine.
“For patients with acute chest pain due to a heart attack, early diagnosis and treatment saves lives,” said Prof. Nicholas Mills, who led the research.
“Unfortunately, many conditions cause these common symptoms, and the diagnosis is not always straightforward.
“Harnessing data and artificial intelligence to support clinical decisions has enormous potential to...
