More people suffer heart attacks on Monday mornings due to increased cortisol levels believed to be from the anxiety of getting back to work.

NOTE: It is believed that Monday morning stress increases stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenalin, in higher than normal levels. People who then suffer heart attacks as a result, do so as a consequence of higher spikes in blood pressure or of arterial constriction. The latter is in response to an outpour of cortisol, that causes cholesterol plaque to dislodge and block blood flow to the heart.
