A new study suggesting that the risk for heart attack increases dramatically within 24 hours after the death of a loved one.
Nearly 2000 patients were interviewed while hospitalized for heart attack. Of these, 270 reported that a significant person in their lives had died within the past 6 months, with 19 learning of a death within 24 hours before their MI. The incidence rate of heart attack was increased more than 20-fold within 24 hours of learning of the death.
