The headline is misleading. The actual study proved that the recorded date of admission to hospital in Ireland with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was increased on a Sunday and Monday. Increased admissions on a Monday is not that unusual given that people often seek medical attention after the weekend but maybe more surprising is the increase on a Sunday. https://heart.bmj.com/content/109/Suppl_3/A78

I wonder how much that diminishes if you control for DST weekend.

We already had evidence that the time shift increases heart attacks.

I’m planning to just ignore DST this year. I’ll show up a little early for work half the year, and a little late for the rest.

Deadly heart attacks are more common on a Monday
