Monday Morning Heart Attack Risk: What You Need to Know

a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and husband of actress Madhuri Dixit, has warned that the risk of heart attacks is highest on Monday mornings. According to statistics, the likelihood of suffering a heart attack increases by 13% on Mondays. This phenomenon has been discussed previously, with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) also reporting a higher risk of heart attacks on Mondays, dubbed "Blue Monday".

Dr. Nene explained that the risk of heart attacks is highest between 6 am and 10 am on Monday mornings. While the exact reason is unknown, it is believed that the sudden change in sleep patterns over the weekend, leading to sleep deprivation and disrupted circadian rhythms, may contribute to the increased risk. This disruption can lead to increased blood pressure and cortisol levels, both major risk factors for heart attacks.

Dr. Nene noted that people often stay up late on weekends, watching their favorite shows or attending parties with family and friends, leading to a disruption in their sleep patterns. This "social jet lag" can result in sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality, increasing the risk of heart attacks.

The concept of "Blue Monday" has been discussed previously, with experts suggesting that the stress of returning to work after a relaxing weekend, combined with the disruption in sleep patterns, may contribute to the increased risk of heart attacks.

While the exact reasons for the increased risk of heart attacks on Mondays are unclear, Dr. Nene emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, to reduce the risk of heart disease.

In conclusion, while the risk of heart attacks may be higher on Monday mornings, it is important to prioritize our health and well-being every day of the week. By making healthy lifestyle choices, we can reduce our risk of heart disease and maintain a healthy heart.
