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

>more surprising is the increase on a Sunday.

This doesn't seem that surprising to me, or at least I expect we should also see an increase on Saturday. People like to do harder work, like lawn projects on the weekend, and things like drinking that can affect the heart.

So the "Sunday Scaries" are real - where you dread going into your toxic job on Monday. Diet and genetics are big contributors to the blockages forming, and the stress sets it off. I had mine (which lead to a double bypass) on a Sunday morning. My job, at the time, was very high stress and I started dreaded going in every Sunday. I could feel panic attacks welling up on Sundays quite often. This is absolutely just opinion, but talking to some other people that were in the hospital with me, it sounded like I definitely wasn't alone in this life experience.
