According to a new study, the most severe types of heart attacks are more common on Mondays than any other day.

A total of 10,528 patients were analysed as part of new research, with the study focusing hospital cases in Ireland and Northern Ireland between 2013 and 2018.

The data shows that the risk of an STEMI-type heart attack were 13 per cent greater on a Monday compared to the average of other days.

"Doing so could help doctors better understand this deadly condition so we can save more lives in future."
