Shifts to and from daylight saving time and incidence of myocardial infarction.
@article{Janszky2008ShiftsTA, title={Shifts to and from daylight saving time and incidence of myocardial infarction.}, author={Imre Janszky and Rickard Ljung}, journal={The New England journal of medicine}, year={2008}, volume={359 18}, pages={ 1966-8 } }
The incidence of acute myocardial infarction was significantly increased for the first 3 weekdays after the transition to daylight saving time in the spring. In contrast, in the autumn, only the first weekday was affected significantly.

The present report supports the possibility that DST transitions represent additional chronobiological feature of AMI, and that risk of an onset varies according to sex, employment status, and the taking of cardiovascular medication.

There was no correlation between the transition to or from DST and a change in the incidence rate of PCI for acute MI, and gender-specific results were comparable.

The results support the presence of an association between DST and a modest increase of AMI occurrence, especially for the spring shift, and with no definite gender specific differences.
