ATLANTA (March 13, 2010)--A study at Duke University suggests that more heart attacks may have occurred as stock prices crashed at the start of the recession.
Researchers at Duke University in North Carolina tallied heart attacks treated at their hospital and compared the numbers with the Nasdaq stock index from January 2008 through July 2009, when the economy started to recover.
As stocks dipped, heart attacks rose.
Once they took the seasons of the year into account, however, it became clear the woes on Wall Street weren’t entirely to blame, because heart attacks are more common in winter.
However, other experts say the issue is worth studying nationwide because stress can lead to heart attacks.
The study was released Saturday at an American College of Cardiology conference in Atlanta.
