Risk of heart attack and stroke goes up during holidays - Mayo Clinic video

From the Mayo Clinic YouTube channel: Are you at an increased risk of heart attack and stroke? Studies show the incidents rise during December and January, but particularly on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Stay safe.

Jon Lord (70), a Hammond organ player, and a founding member of Deep Purple, who is currently recovering from cancer, says it very well: "Party hearty but look after yourselves. I wish you success and happiness, and above all I wish you health."

Stock market dips linked to heart attack increase

During the period of increased volatility in the stock market in 2006-2009, when stock market values decreased, heart attacks seemed to increase, and then decreased when stock trends improved.

While earlier studies showed a link between traumatic events such Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and an increased risk of "cardiac events," there was limited data on the impact of financial markets.
