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

Thanks for linking this. I wish the article included actual stats like the scientists expected about 1500 admissions per day, but Sun/Mon had over 1600, while the other days were between 1400 and 1500.
