Stock Market is the place which can be deeply linked with the myocardial infractions or heart attacks, this point has been researched by a team of people from the Duke University Medical Center on the basis of analysis of data collected during the Current US economic crisis.

According to the leading investigator of the study “During the period that the NASDAQ was declining, the MI (myocardial infarction, or heart attack) rates were increasing” and this team has also traced a rise in occurrence of heart attacks from January 2008 to July 2009 which is claimed to be the roller coaster period for the stock markets, the figures have been used from the Duke Databank for the Cardiovascular diseases.

The team has also worked on the seasonal variations for the occurrence of heart attacks and according to Dr. Christopher O’Connor, director of the Duke Heart Center and study senior author “However, previous research has shown that myocardial infarctions occur more frequently during winter months than summer months. When we corrected for seasonality, we learned the time of year could be impacting our results”. Thus when seasonal variations comes then the link or impact o stock markets gets reduced but still it carries the impact on the cardiac health of people as the bad times of stock markets gets worst or many people.
