Mondays hard on heart, study says (the story sofar...)
by thomas deeny
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS - Here's an
other reason to hate Mondays: The
risk of a heart attack may be as
much as 50 percent greater than
on any other day.
Not surprisingly, this discovery
only applies to people who work.
Researchers from Germany
studied nearly 6,000 heart attacks
to come to the conclusion that
Mondays are even worse than
people thought.
"It must have something to do
with going from being a couch
potato to a working person," said
Dr. Robert Zoble of the University
of South Florida.
For several years, researchers
have been studying when heart
attacks occur, because this can
provide clues about precisely
what triggers them. And that in
formation will help doctors come
up with new strategies to prevent
heart attacks, the No. 1 killer in
the United States and other indus
trialized countries.
Recently, for instance, other sci
entists have found that the chance
of dying from a heart attack is
twice as high during the first two
hours after getting up as it is for
the rest of the day.
The latest data were presented
Monday at the annual scientific
meeting of the American Heart
Association.
"This points to the role of
changing activity levels in trigger
ing cardiac events," said Dr. Ste
fan N. Willich of the Free Univer
sity of Berlin, who directed the
study.
He and colleagues kept track of
all the heart attacks and coronary
arrests over five years among
330,000 people who lived in the
Augsburg area.
During this time, 5,596 attacks
occurred. The researchers found
that among working people, Mon
days were especially hazardous,
accounting for 18 percent of all
heart attacks. Sunday was the
safest with 12 percent of all heart
attacks, or 50 percent less than on
Mondays.
Mondays' risk was 40 percent
higher overall compared with the
rest of the week, the researchers
said. The second-riskiest day was
Thursday, followed by Saturday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

BROKEN ARROW, Okla. -
An apologetic, hungry robber
stole a dozen doughnuts from the
Sugar House Bakery — at gun
point. Bakery employee Ruth
Poplin said her first customer of
the day Saturday ordered a dozen
glazed doughnuts.
When she asked for $2.95, the
man pulled out a pistol.
"He asked me how much mon
ey I had, and I thought he meant
how much money I personally
had. I told him I didn't have any,'
Poplin said. "Then he said, 'Well
I'll just take the doughnuts, then."

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo
Zoo euthanized an Asian elephan!
because a veterinarian said
wouldn't have survived t
pulling of an infected tooth.
Lulu was killed Sunday with!
lethal injection. The 42-year-
elephant had lost weight because
of an abscessed tooth. Last April
zoo veterinarian Allan Prowten
tried drugs and an operation
clean the abscess, but the infection
flared a week ago.
Zoo officials said pulling
tooth would have caused the ele
phant excruciating pain and
her unable to eat, making her lose
weight faster. It would have taken
at least six months for Lulu to re
cover, zoo officials said.
