What is already known on this topic?
In western countries, cardiac mortality and hospital admission due to myocardial infarction has
been observed to peak on Christmas and New Years’ holiday. In addition, the risk of myocardial
infarction has also been linked to football championships; hurricanes and stock market crashes. It
is therefore conjectured that factors associated with emotional stress, physical activity and
lifestyle changes may modulate the onset of myocardial infarction by acting as short-term
triggers.
What this study adds
We investigated the risk of MI during national holidays, sports events and various time aspects
to identify times of hazard in a large study covering 16 years of clinical MI data. We observed
higher risk of MI during Christmas/New Years and Midsummer holidays but not during Easter
holiday. The highest risk was observed during Christmas Eve and in patients over 75 years,
patients with previous diabetes and coronary artery disease.

Confidential: For Review OnlyChristmas holidays:
In Sweden, Christmas Eve on December 24th is the main day of Christmas festivities. The
celebrations continue on Christmas day and Boxing Day.
New Year holidays:
Whereas Christmas is celebrated with the immediate family, New Year’s Eve is generally
celebrated with friends. Besides excess food and drink intake, the festivities includes awaiting
midnight to share New Year’s resolutions and wish each other a happy new year under firework
lights.
Easter Holidays:
Easter celebration is the first long weekend after winter. Families and friends meet and eat with a
focus on eggs and children dress as Easter witches.
Midsummer Holiday:
Apart from Christmas, Midsummer is the most important holiday in Sweden. On the evening
preceding the summer solstice, Midsummer Eve, Swedes gather to celebrate by dancing around a
maypole, singing, eating and drinking often in excess. It is often associated with the Christian
holiday, the Feast Day of St John the Baptist on the 24th of June.

Confidential: For Review OnlyObjectives
To study circadian rhythm aspects, national holidays and major sport events as triggers of
myocardial infarction (MI).
Design
Retrospective observational study using the nationwide coronary care unit registry,
SWEDEHEART.
Setting
Nationwide.
Participants
A total of 283,014 cases MI were reported to the registry between 1998-2013 and included in
this study. Symptom onset date was documented for all cases and time to nearest minute for
88.20%.
Interventions
All MIs with symptom onset on Christmas/New Years, Easter, Midsummer holiday were
identified. Similarly, we identified all MIs that occurred during a FIFA world cup, UEFA
EuroCup and winter and summer Olympic games. The two weeks before and after a holiday
were set as control period and for sport events the control period was set to the same time period
1 year before and after the tournament. Circadian and circaseptan analyses were performed with
Sunday and 00.00 as reference day and hour to which all other days and hours were compared.
Incidence rate ratios were calculated using a count regression model.
Main outcome measures
Daily count of MI.

Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with higher risk of MI, (incidence rate ratio
(IRR)=1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.12-1.19], p<0.001) and (IRR=1.12, 95%CI [1.07-
1.18], p<0.001) respectively. The highest associated risk was observed for Christmas Eve
(IRR=1,37, 95%CI [1,29-1,46], p<0.001). No increased risk was observed during Easter holiday
or sport events. A circaseptan and circadian variation in risk of MI was observed with higher risk
during early mornings and on Mondays. Results were most pronounced in older and sicker
patients.
Conclusions
In this nationwide real-world study covering 16 years of MI hospitalizations with symptom
onset documented to nearest minute, Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with
higher risk of MI particularly in older and sicker patients, suggesting a role of external triggers
in vulnerable patients.

Confidential: For Review OnlyIntroduction
Ischemic heart disease, although declining in high income countries, remains the most common
cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1 Current understanding is that this disease is
multifactorial with predisposing modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors1-3. However, studies
have also shown that external factors may be involved in triggering the onset of myocardial
infarction (MI) by contributing in eliciting the rupture of unstable plaques, leading to MI. These
short-term risk factors include, but are not limited to, emotional stress, heavy physical activity
and cold weather exposure as well as air pollution3-11. Moreover, Muller et al. presented the
variation in MI incidence peaking at 9 AM and the circadian variation in MI with daily activities
increasing the risk of coronary thrombosis and MI through hemodynamic and vasoconstrictive
forces12,13. Goldberg et al. and Rocco et al. further expanded this view by adjusting for time of
waking up and both groups could show the risk of MI to be increased during the first 1-4 hours
after awakening14,15.
A number of these short-term potential triggers, ranging from earthquakes, hurricanes, wars,
sports events to stock market volatility have repeatedly been associated with a higher risk of
MI16-20. Furthermore, prior studies have shown a peak in cardiac mortality in the western world
on Christmas day, New Years’ day and during Islamic holidays in countries where this religion is
predominating21-24. Even Sir Winston Churchill was thought to have suffered from a heart attack
when visiting the White House at Christmas 194125. However, most previous studies have used
surrogate variables such as MI mortality, ambulance records, death certificates, and
administrative data including International Classification of Diseases (ICD) -codes as indicators
of MI and as such may introduce bias through misclassification and uncertainties in time of

symptom onset. Thus, there is a lack of more granular data with exact time of symptom onset as
well as severity and type of MI in a nationwide setting.
We hypothesized that short-term risk factors may be associated with risk of MI. Furthermore; we
hypothesized that the potential risk may differ with regard to ECG subtypes of MI; ST-elevation
MI (STEMI) and non ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI). Our objective was therefore to study national
holidays, major sport events as well as circadian rhythm aspects as triggers of ECG and
biomarker positive myocardial infarctions with high-resolution data on symptom onset
documented to the nearest minute, in a large nationwide setting.
Methods
Study population
The prospective nationwide Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of
Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies
(SWEDEHEART) registry was used to identify cases of MI in Sweden between 1998-2013. The
SWEDEHEART registry has been described in details elsewhere; briefly, all patients with
symptoms of an acute coronary syndrome admitted to a coronary care unit or other specialized
facility in Sweden are enrolled26. The registry prospectively collects information on background
characteristics such as age, body mass index, smoking status, electrocardiographic findings as
well as other examinations, interventions, complications, laboratory measures, discharge
medications and diagnoses. The diagnosis of MI including subtypes is set based by the treating
physician’s assessment of patient at discharge. The date and time of symptom onset is
documented to the nearest minute and was used as the main variable in this study. All cases of
MI reported to the SWEDEHEART registry during the study period were included in this study.

Study design
All cases of MI with symptom onset on Christmas/New Years, Easter, and Midsummer holiday
were identified. Christmas/New Years holidays were defined as Christmas Eve, Christmas day,
Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and the Epiphany. Easter holiday was defined as
Good Friday, Easter Eve, Easter Day and Easter Monday. Midsummer Eve and Midsummer Day
(also known as St John’s Day) constituted Midsummer holiday. Similarly, we identified all MIs
that occurred on all Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) world cup, Union
of European Football Association (UEFA) Euro Cup and winter and summer Olympic games
during the study period. The two weeks before and after a holiday was set as control period and
for sport events the control period was set to the same time period 1 year before and after the
tournament. Circadian and circaseptan analyses were performed with Sunday and 00.00 as the
reference day and hour to which all other days and hours were compared. The primary outcome
was daily count of MI, with STEMI and NSTEMI studied independently as secondary outcome
measures. Incidence rate ratios were calculated comparing incidence rates of a period/time of
interest to a control period according to the statistical analysis section. Pre-specified subgroup
analyses were assessed for all periods of interest. These subgroups were based on sex, age ≥75
years vs. age <75 years, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD)
as well as patients on medications such as beta-blockers, calcium inhibitors, aspirin, angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-I/ARB) and statins. This study
was approved by Lund University's ethical Committee (2015/297). A sensitivity analysis

addressing the risk of MI on days involving the Swedish soccer team during FIFA world cup and
UEFA Euro Cup was conducted. In addition, sensitivity analyses adjusted for year as a
categorical variable were conducted to control for time trends in MI during the study period.
Statistical methods
Continuous variables are displayed as mean ± standard deviation. Categorical variables are
displayed as counts and percentages. Chi-square test was used to assess statistical significance
between categorical variables. Incidence rate ratios were calculated for major holidays, sport
events and day of the week as well as for hour of symptom onset by using a Poisson regression
model. Calendar week was plotted with a line graph to assess seasonality. All analyses were
conducted on complete case data and only two variables contained missing data exceeding 1%.
These were time of symptom onset and smoking status with 11.80% and 8.50% missing data
respectively. Family-wise error rate was applied within strata (total MI, NSTEMI and STEMI)
using the Hochberg method to control for type 1 errors owing to multiple testing. All statistical
analyses were performed using STATA version 14.1 for Macintosh, StataCorp, Texas, USA). A
two-sided p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Patient characteristics
A total of 283,014 admissions of MI during the study period and all were included in the study.
Baseline demographics are presented in Table 1 and a total of 95,176 patients had STEMI at
admission. Patients with STEMI were on average 4 years younger, more frequently men and
current smokers compared to patients with NSTEMI.

Major holidays
A higher risk of MI was observed for Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years’ day but not
for New Years’ Eve and Epiphany. During Christmas/New Years holiday there was a 15%
higher risk of MI (incidence rate ratio (IRR)) =1.15 95% CI [1.12-1.19], p=<0.001). MI risk at
Christmas eve was higher than the other individual days of the holiday (IRR =1.37 95% CI
[1.29-1.46], p=<0.001) and the risk was even higher after ECG stratification of MI, risk of
NSTEMI (IRR =1.48 95%CI [1.38-1.59], p=<0.001). Easter holiday was not associated with a
higher IRR of MI while Midsummer holiday was associated with a higher risk, (IRR =1.12
95%CI [1.07-1.18], p=0.001) largely driven by NSTEMI (IRR =1.16 95%CI [1.09-1.23],
p<0.001).
Sports events
During the study period, 4 FIFA world cups and 4 European Football championships took place.
Sports events were not associated with a higher incidence of total MI, NSTEMI or STEMI,
although a trend was observed for summer Olympic games in men, but this did not reach
statistical significance after adjusting for multiple testing Table 1 and Supplementary Table 2.
Time aspects
A significant circaseptan variation in incidence of MI was observed on Mondays, also evident
after stratification into NSTEMI and STEMI, Figure 2. A clear and significantly higher incidence
of MI was observed in the analysis of hour of symptom onset, peaking at 8 AM, most prominent
for NSTEMI, Figure 2 and Supplementary Table 1.

Subgroup and sensitivity analyses
Consistent results were observed for all subgroups with higher IRR of MI during Christmas
holiday except for the subgroup of current smokers, Supplementary Figure 1 and Supplementary
Table 2. The risk was higher in patient’s aged ≥75 years, patients with previous diabetes and
patients with previous CAD. No subgroup was particularly more affected on Easter holidays but
a statistically non-significant trend towards higher risk of MI in men during midsummer was
seen. Consistent results with higher risk of MI on Mondays were seen in all subgroups except for
current smokers Supplementary Figure 3 and Supplementary Table 2. Consistent results for hour
of symptom onset were observed in all subgroups, Supplementary Figure 4 and Supplementary
Table 2. An analysis of Christmas and Midsummer holidays was done for all patients that
underwent coronary angiography with subsequent revascularization with percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. patients that underwent
coronary angiography with no revascularization performed. The associated higher risk of MI
during these holidays was limited to MIs that did not undergo revascularization therapy,
Supplementary Figure 2. No associated risk was observed in the sensitivity analyses exploring
only the days when Sweden played in FIFA world cup or UEFA Euro cup. The sensitivity
analyses controlling for long-term trends in MI resulted in consistent results.

Confidential: For Review OnlyDiscussion
We investigated the risk of MI during national holidays, sports events and various time aspects
using data on date and time of symptom onset, documented to the nearest minute in a large
nationwide setting with 16 years of MI data. We observed higher risk of MI during
Christmas/New Years and Midsummer holidays but not during Easter holiday. Sports events
were not associated with higher risk of MI. We observed a prominent peak incidence on
calendar week 52, Mondays and at 8 AM. This is to our knowledge the largest study utilizing
electrocardiographic and biomarker positive MI from a well-known registry. These results are
in line with studies using administrative data.
Major Holidays
We observed a remarkable 37% higher risk of MI during Christmas Eve alone compared to the
control period, by far the individual day with the highest risk of MI. Previous meta-analyses of
short-term triggers such as acute experience of anger, anxiety, sadness, grief and stress increase
MI risk, possibly explaining the higher associated risk in our study4,9. Although holiday
celebrations should be associated with the opposite, this may not be the case for all individuals.
The association of higher risk on Christmas was more pronounced in patients over 75 years,
patients with previous diabetes and patients with previous coronary artery disease highlights the
need for the medical society to raise awareness of this fragile patient group during this holiday.
These findings warrant further research to identify the mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
Understanding what factors, activities and emotions precede these MIs and how they differ from
MIs suffered on other days could result in a method to cope with this and ultimately a lesser
cardiovascular burden on society. It could be argued that relatives visiting their dear ones after a

long time apart find them in a less than good general condition and decide to admit them to a
hospital. However, this should be followed by a decline in number of MIs the weeks after
Christmas compared to the weeks preceding Christmas. Similarly, a healthcare seeking delay
caused by patients’ unwillingness to disrupt the on-going celebration should be preceded by
lower rates of MI before Christmas as compared to after Christmas. In other words, the absence
of any decline preceding or following Christmas indicates that these behavioural aspects are not
the main contributing factors behind the Christmas peak of MI.
New Years’ eve is usually associated with the New Years’ celebrations in Sweden.
However, no associated risk was observed in our study but instead, we observed a higher risk on
New Years day, possibly explained by a negligence and masking of symptoms due to alcohol
resulting in healthcare seeking delay. The associated risk of MI during holidays was similar
between men and women except for Midsummer, which was associated with a higher risk in men
only. Men may expose themselves to risk factors like smoking, drinking and overeating to a
higher extent during this holiday and although no sex-specific statistics are available, alcohol
sale statistics from the government-owned monopoly chain of retail stores shows peaking sales
on Christmas and Midsummer27.
Time aspects
We confirm previous studies using administrative data and circadian and circaseptan variation in
MI12,14,28,29. The incidence of MI peaked on calendar week 52, on Mondays and around 8 AM.
The rate of STEMI had a normal, lightly skewed distribution whereas NSTEMI ran a more
fluctuating course over the day (Figure 2). Mondays were associated with the highest risk of MI
and differences were observed between STEMI and NSTEMI. Whereas risk of NSTEMI

remained higher during weekdays compared to weekends, no other day of week was associated
with higher or lower risk of STEMI. However, behavioural aspect with healthcare-seeking delay
due to opening hours cannot be ruled out30. Although we used symptom onset and not admission
date, healthcare-seeking delay may still confound results, as symptom onset may be less defined
in patients with NSTEMI. The decline in incidence rate of NSTEMI on weekends and at night is
supportive of this, in contrast to STEMI, usually presenting with a more pronounced
symptomatology and minimal healthcare delay. Previous studies have shown a higher risk of MI
primarily allocated to the working population29. In contrast, we found similar patterns in retired
patients (≥75 years) as for younger patients (<75 years). Previously proposed explanation to the
circaseptan peak in MI include stressful Mondays and a rise in arterial blood pressure and heart
rate, peak cortisol and increased blood viscosity and platelet aggregability in the morning hours
may alone or in combination, explain the circadian variation.13
Sports events
Sports event periods were not associated with a higher risk of MI, which was in contrary to our
expectations with regard to previous studies17,31. Wilbert-Lampen et al. presented an increased
incidence in MI in Greater München area during FIFA world cup in Germany 2006. A number of
aspects may contribute to the discrepancy in results. First of all, the fact that Germany was the
host of the tournament might infer involvement in the sport even by non-dedicated fans. In
addition, the associated risk was restricted to days involving the German soccer team and highest
during the day of the quarter and semi-finals. There was a complete lack of risk on the day the
German team played for third place and, the only day that was associated with a higher risk and
not involving the German team was the final. Altogether, these factors indicate that a stronger

14
emotional stress may be required to trigger MI. We tried to address this in our sensitivity
analysis of days involving the Swedish team playing which did not show any associated risk.
Moreover, no subgroup suffered a higher risk of MI during any sport periods that were studied
thus normal watching sport events can be considered safe.
Pathophysiological aspects
We were able to characterize MI to a higher degree than previously and this allowed us to study
STEMI and NSTEMI independently together with a wide range of subgroups. Our results
showed consistently higher risk of MI due to higher rates of NSTEMI, elderly patients and
patients with previous diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease and those on previous
medications with regard to all studied potential triggers, highlighting the concept of vulnerable
patients. Whereas the current understanding of vulnerable plaques is that it is a local process of a
systemic disease (atherosclerosis), the concept of the vulnerable patients is broader, involving
blood vulnerable to thrombosis and myocardium vulnerable to arrhythmias among other risk
factors32. It cannot be ruled out that activities and emotions associated with holiday’s results in
myocardial infarction secondary to ischemia due to an increased oxygen demand in elder and
sicker patients. This is supported by the subgroup analysis on Christmas and New Years’ holiday
(Supplementary Figure 2) that showed an incremental risk increase of MI with each age quartile
in addition to the lack of risk of STEMI, as type 2 infarctions generally do not present as
STEMI33. However, infarct type classification was not introduced in the SWEDEHEART
registry until 2010 and in order to address this topic; we conducted a post hoc analysis of risk of
MI resulting in a coronary angiography between 2004-2013. Neither Christmas nor Midsummer
holiday were associated with risk of an MI resulting in revascularization; these holidays were

15
rather associated with MI in which PCI or surgery was not deemed necessary. This suggests that
a large proportion of MI with non-occlusive coronary arteries may account for the higher risk of
MI during these holidays. Although this post hoc analysis did not take into account chronic total
occlusions or distal occlusions that were left untreated by the interventionist, these findings
warrant further investigation.
The rationale behind our subgroup analyses i.e. patients on previous medications was to
investigate possible inhibitory mechanisms of certain pharmacotherapies on the mechanisms of
the short term triggers of MI. Medications lowering heart rate, reducing blood pressure, lipids
and platelet aggregation might reduce plaque vulnerability to external triggers. For example,
beta-adrenergic inhibitors have been shown to blunt the circadian variation in MI by reducing
heart rate and blood pressure and increase coronary blood flow by prolonging diastole.34
However, in our study, patients on cardiovascular medications had similar or higher risk of MI
during holidays, our explanation to this is thus in line with our main theory - the medications
are surrogate measures of a sicker population, more vulnerable to external triggers. On the
contrary, the subgroup analyses of circadian variation were rather associated with lower risk,
Supplementary figure 4, in line with previous studies suggesting that these medications partially
blunting the mechanisms of short-term triggers of MI.
Limitations
Due to the nature of this study as an observational study, causality cannot be determined, as
unobserved confounders cannot be ruled out. Previous publications have shown a higher

incidence of MI during colder temperatures. However, it is unlikely that national holidays should
be associated with lower temperature to bias the results since control periods two weeks before
and after holidays were used.
Conclusion
In this nationwide real-world study covering 16 years of MI hospitalizations with symptom
onset documented to nearest minute, Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with
higher risk of MI. Consistently, we observed a higher risk in older and sicker patients,
suggesting a role of external triggers in the vulnerable patients.

What is already known on this topic?
In western countries, cardiac mortality and hospital admission due to myocardial infarction has
been observed to peak on Christmas and New Years’ holiday. In addition, the risk of myocardial
infarction has also been linked to football championships; hurricanes and stock market crashes. It
is therefore conjectured that factors associated with emotional stress, physical activity and
lifestyle changes may modulate the onset of myocardial infarction by acting as short-term
triggers.
What this study adds
We investigated the risk of MI during national holidays, sports events and various time aspects
to identify times of hazard in a large study covering 16 years of clinical MI data. We observed
higher risk of MI during Christmas/New Years and Midsummer holidays but not during Easter
holiday. The highest risk was observed during Christmas Eve and in patients over 75 years,
patients with previous diabetes and coronary artery disease.

Confidential: For Review OnlyChristmas holidays:
In Sweden, Christmas Eve on December 24th is the main day of Christmas festivities. The
celebrations continue on Christmas day and Boxing Day.
New Year holidays:
Whereas Christmas is celebrated with the immediate family, New Year’s Eve is generally
celebrated with friends. Besides excess food and drink intake, the festivities includes awaiting
midnight to share New Year’s resolutions and wish each other a happy new year under firework
lights.
Easter Holidays:
Easter celebration is the first long weekend after winter. Families and friends meet and eat with a
focus on eggs and children dress as Easter witches.
Midsummer Holiday:
Apart from Christmas, Midsummer is the most important holiday in Sweden. On the evening
preceding the summer solstice, Midsummer Eve, Swedes gather to celebrate by dancing around a
maypole, singing, eating and drinking often in excess. It is often associated with the Christian
holiday, the Feast Day of St John the Baptist on the 24th of June.

Confidential: For Review OnlyObjectives
To study circadian rhythm aspects, national holidays and major sport events as triggers of
myocardial infarction (MI).
Design
Retrospective observational study using the nationwide coronary care unit registry,
SWEDEHEART.
Setting
Nationwide.
Participants
A total of 283,014 cases MI were reported to the registry between 1998-2013 and included in
this study. Symptom onset date was documented for all cases and time to nearest minute for
88.20%.
Interventions
All MIs with symptom onset on Christmas/New Years, Easter, Midsummer holiday were
identified. Similarly, we identified all MIs that occurred during a FIFA world cup, UEFA
EuroCup and winter and summer Olympic games. The two weeks before and after a holiday
were set as control period and for sport events the control period was set to the same time period
1 year before and after the tournament. Circadian and circaseptan analyses were performed with
Sunday and 00.00 as reference day and hour to which all other days and hours were compared.
Incidence rate ratios were calculated using a count regression model.
Main outcome measures
Daily count of MI.

Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with higher risk of MI, (incidence rate ratio
(IRR)=1.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.12-1.19], p<0.001) and (IRR=1.12, 95%CI [1.07-
1.18], p<0.001) respectively. The highest associated risk was observed for Christmas Eve
(IRR=1,37, 95%CI [1,29-1,46], p<0.001). No increased risk was observed during Easter holiday
or sport events. A circaseptan and circadian variation in risk of MI was observed with higher risk
during early mornings and on Mondays. Results were most pronounced in older and sicker
patients.
Conclusions
In this nationwide real-world study covering 16 years of MI hospitalizations with symptom
onset documented to nearest minute, Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with
higher risk of MI particularly in older and sicker patients, suggesting a role of external triggers
in vulnerable patients.

Confidential: For Review OnlyIntroduction
Ischemic heart disease, although declining in high income countries, remains the most common
cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1 Current understanding is that this disease is
multifactorial with predisposing modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors1-3. However, studies
have also shown that external factors may be involved in triggering the onset of myocardial
infarction (MI) by contributing in eliciting the rupture of unstable plaques, leading to MI. These
short-term risk factors include, but are not limited to, emotional stress, heavy physical activity
and cold weather exposure as well as air pollution3-11. Moreover, Muller et al. presented the
variation in MI incidence peaking at 9 AM and the circadian variation in MI with daily activities
increasing the risk of coronary thrombosis and MI through hemodynamic and vasoconstrictive
forces12,13. Goldberg et al. and Rocco et al. further expanded this view by adjusting for time of
waking up and both groups could show the risk of MI to be increased during the first 1-4 hours
after awakening14,15.
A number of these short-term potential triggers, ranging from earthquakes, hurricanes, wars,
sports events to stock market volatility have repeatedly been associated with a higher risk of
MI16-20. Furthermore, prior studies have shown a peak in cardiac mortality in the western world
on Christmas day, New Years’ day and during Islamic holidays in countries where this religion is
predominating21-24. Even Sir Winston Churchill was thought to have suffered from a heart attack
when visiting the White House at Christmas 194125. However, most previous studies have used
surrogate variables such as MI mortality, ambulance records, death certificates, and
administrative data including International Classification of Diseases (ICD) -codes as indicators
of MI and as such may introduce bias through misclassification and uncertainties in time of

symptom onset. Thus, there is a lack of more granular data with exact time of symptom onset as
well as severity and type of MI in a nationwide setting.
We hypothesized that short-term risk factors may be associated with risk of MI. Furthermore; we
hypothesized that the potential risk may differ with regard to ECG subtypes of MI; ST-elevation
MI (STEMI) and non ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI). Our objective was therefore to study national
holidays, major sport events as well as circadian rhythm aspects as triggers of ECG and
biomarker positive myocardial infarctions with high-resolution data on symptom onset
documented to the nearest minute, in a large nationwide setting.
Methods
Study population
The prospective nationwide Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of
Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies
(SWEDEHEART) registry was used to identify cases of MI in Sweden between 1998-2013. The
SWEDEHEART registry has been described in details elsewhere; briefly, all patients with
symptoms of an acute coronary syndrome admitted to a coronary care unit or other specialized
facility in Sweden are enrolled26. The registry prospectively collects information on background
characteristics such as age, body mass index, smoking status, electrocardiographic findings as
well as other examinations, interventions, complications, laboratory measures, discharge
medications and diagnoses. The diagnosis of MI including subtypes is set based by the treating
physician’s assessment of patient at discharge. The date and time of symptom onset is
documented to the nearest minute and was used as the main variable in this study. All cases of
MI reported to the SWEDEHEART registry during the study period were included in this study.

Study design
All cases of MI with symptom onset on Christmas/New Years, Easter, and Midsummer holiday
were identified. Christmas/New Years holidays were defined as Christmas Eve, Christmas day,
Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day and the Epiphany. Easter holiday was defined as
Good Friday, Easter Eve, Easter Day and Easter Monday. Midsummer Eve and Midsummer Day
(also known as St John’s Day) constituted Midsummer holiday. Similarly, we identified all MIs
that occurred on all Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) world cup, Union
of European Football Association (UEFA) Euro Cup and winter and summer Olympic games
during the study period. The two weeks before and after a holiday was set as control period and
for sport events the control period was set to the same time period 1 year before and after the
tournament. Circadian and circaseptan analyses were performed with Sunday and 00.00 as the
reference day and hour to which all other days and hours were compared. The primary outcome
was daily count of MI, with STEMI and NSTEMI studied independently as secondary outcome
measures. Incidence rate ratios were calculated comparing incidence rates of a period/time of
interest to a control period according to the statistical analysis section. Pre-specified subgroup
analyses were assessed for all periods of interest. These subgroups were based on sex, age ≥75
years vs. age <75 years, smoking status, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD)
as well as patients on medications such as beta-blockers, calcium inhibitors, aspirin, angiotensin
converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ACE-I/ARB) and statins. This study
was approved by Lund University's ethical Committee (2015/297). A sensitivity analysis

addressing the risk of MI on days involving the Swedish soccer team during FIFA world cup and
UEFA Euro Cup was conducted. In addition, sensitivity analyses adjusted for year as a
categorical variable were conducted to control for time trends in MI during the study period.
Statistical methods
Continuous variables are displayed as mean ± standard deviation. Categorical variables are
displayed as counts and percentages. Chi-square test was used to assess statistical significance
between categorical variables. Incidence rate ratios were calculated for major holidays, sport
events and day of the week as well as for hour of symptom onset by using a Poisson regression
model. Calendar week was plotted with a line graph to assess seasonality. All analyses were
conducted on complete case data and only two variables contained missing data exceeding 1%.
These were time of symptom onset and smoking status with 11.80% and 8.50% missing data
respectively. Family-wise error rate was applied within strata (total MI, NSTEMI and STEMI)
using the Hochberg method to control for type 1 errors owing to multiple testing. All statistical
analyses were performed using STATA version 14.1 for Macintosh, StataCorp, Texas, USA). A
two-sided p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Patient characteristics
A total of 283,014 admissions of MI during the study period and all were included in the study.
Baseline demographics are presented in Table 1 and a total of 95,176 patients had STEMI at
admission. Patients with STEMI were on average 4 years younger, more frequently men and
current smokers compared to patients with NSTEMI.

Major holidays
A higher risk of MI was observed for Christmas day, Boxing Day and New Years’ day but not
for New Years’ Eve and Epiphany. During Christmas/New Years holiday there was a 15%
higher risk of MI (incidence rate ratio (IRR)) =1.15 95% CI [1.12-1.19], p=<0.001). MI risk at
Christmas eve was higher than the other individual days of the holiday (IRR =1.37 95% CI
[1.29-1.46], p=<0.001) and the risk was even higher after ECG stratification of MI, risk of
NSTEMI (IRR =1.48 95%CI [1.38-1.59], p=<0.001). Easter holiday was not associated with a
higher IRR of MI while Midsummer holiday was associated with a higher risk, (IRR =1.12
95%CI [1.07-1.18], p=0.001) largely driven by NSTEMI (IRR =1.16 95%CI [1.09-1.23],
p<0.001).
Sports events
During the study period, 4 FIFA world cups and 4 European Football championships took place.
Sports events were not associated with a higher incidence of total MI, NSTEMI or STEMI,
although a trend was observed for summer Olympic games in men, but this did not reach
statistical significance after adjusting for multiple testing Table 1 and Supplementary Table 2.
Time aspects
A significant circaseptan variation in incidence of MI was observed on Mondays, also evident
after stratification into NSTEMI and STEMI, Figure 2. A clear and significantly higher incidence
of MI was observed in the analysis of hour of symptom onset, peaking at 8 AM, most prominent
for NSTEMI, Figure 2 and Supplementary Table 1.

Subgroup and sensitivity analyses
Consistent results were observed for all subgroups with higher IRR of MI during Christmas
holiday except for the subgroup of current smokers, Supplementary Figure 1 and Supplementary
Table 2. The risk was higher in patient’s aged ≥75 years, patients with previous diabetes and
patients with previous CAD. No subgroup was particularly more affected on Easter holidays but
a statistically non-significant trend towards higher risk of MI in men during midsummer was
seen. Consistent results with higher risk of MI on Mondays were seen in all subgroups except for
current smokers Supplementary Figure 3 and Supplementary Table 2. Consistent results for hour
of symptom onset were observed in all subgroups, Supplementary Figure 4 and Supplementary
Table 2. An analysis of Christmas and Midsummer holidays was done for all patients that
underwent coronary angiography with subsequent revascularization with percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. patients that underwent
coronary angiography with no revascularization performed. The associated higher risk of MI
during these holidays was limited to MIs that did not undergo revascularization therapy,
Supplementary Figure 2. No associated risk was observed in the sensitivity analyses exploring
only the days when Sweden played in FIFA world cup or UEFA Euro cup. The sensitivity
analyses controlling for long-term trends in MI resulted in consistent results.

Confidential: For Review OnlyDiscussion
We investigated the risk of MI during national holidays, sports events and various time aspects
using data on date and time of symptom onset, documented to the nearest minute in a large
nationwide setting with 16 years of MI data. We observed higher risk of MI during
Christmas/New Years and Midsummer holidays but not during Easter holiday. Sports events
were not associated with higher risk of MI. We observed a prominent peak incidence on
calendar week 52, Mondays and at 8 AM. This is to our knowledge the largest study utilizing
electrocardiographic and biomarker positive MI from a well-known registry. These results are
in line with studies using administrative data.
Major Holidays
We observed a remarkable 37% higher risk of MI during Christmas Eve alone compared to the
control period, by far the individual day with the highest risk of MI. Previous meta-analyses of
short-term triggers such as acute experience of anger, anxiety, sadness, grief and stress increase
MI risk, possibly explaining the higher associated risk in our study4,9. Although holiday
celebrations should be associated with the opposite, this may not be the case for all individuals.
The association of higher risk on Christmas was more pronounced in patients over 75 years,
patients with previous diabetes and patients with previous coronary artery disease highlights the
need for the medical society to raise awareness of this fragile patient group during this holiday.
These findings warrant further research to identify the mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
Understanding what factors, activities and emotions precede these MIs and how they differ from
MIs suffered on other days could result in a method to cope with this and ultimately a lesser
cardiovascular burden on society. It could be argued that relatives visiting their dear ones after a

long time apart find them in a less than good general condition and decide to admit them to a
hospital. However, this should be followed by a decline in number of MIs the weeks after
Christmas compared to the weeks preceding Christmas. Similarly, a healthcare seeking delay
caused by patients’ unwillingness to disrupt the on-going celebration should be preceded by
lower rates of MI before Christmas as compared to after Christmas. In other words, the absence
of any decline preceding or following Christmas indicates that these behavioural aspects are not
the main contributing factors behind the Christmas peak of MI.
New Years’ eve is usually associated with the New Years’ celebrations in Sweden.
However, no associated risk was observed in our study but instead, we observed a higher risk on
New Years day, possibly explained by a negligence and masking of symptoms due to alcohol
resulting in healthcare seeking delay. The associated risk of MI during holidays was similar
between men and women except for Midsummer, which was associated with a higher risk in men
only. Men may expose themselves to risk factors like smoking, drinking and overeating to a
higher extent during this holiday and although no sex-specific statistics are available, alcohol
sale statistics from the government-owned monopoly chain of retail stores shows peaking sales
on Christmas and Midsummer27.
Time aspects
We confirm previous studies using administrative data and circadian and circaseptan variation in
MI12,14,28,29. The incidence of MI peaked on calendar week 52, on Mondays and around 8 AM.
The rate of STEMI had a normal, lightly skewed distribution whereas NSTEMI ran a more
fluctuating course over the day (Figure 2). Mondays were associated with the highest risk of MI
and differences were observed between STEMI and NSTEMI. Whereas risk of NSTEMI

13
remained higher during weekdays compared to weekends, no other day of week was associated
with higher or lower risk of STEMI. However, behavioural aspect with healthcare-seeking delay
due to opening hours cannot be ruled out30. Although we used symptom onset and not admission
date, healthcare-seeking delay may still confound results, as symptom onset may be less defined
in patients with NSTEMI. The decline in incidence rate of NSTEMI on weekends and at night is
supportive of this, in contrast to STEMI, usually presenting with a more pronounced
symptomatology and minimal healthcare delay. Previous studies have shown a higher risk of MI
primarily allocated to the working population29. In contrast, we found similar patterns in retired
patients (≥75 years) as for younger patients (<75 years). Previously proposed explanation to the
circaseptan peak in MI include stressful Mondays and a rise in arterial blood pressure and heart
rate, peak cortisol and increased blood viscosity and platelet aggregability in the morning hours
may alone or in combination, explain the circadian variation.13
Sports events
Sports event periods were not associated with a higher risk of MI, which was in contrary to our
expectations with regard to previous studies17,31. Wilbert-Lampen et al. presented an increased
incidence in MI in Greater München area during FIFA world cup in Germany 2006. A number of
aspects may contribute to the discrepancy in results. First of all, the fact that Germany was the
host of the tournament might infer involvement in the sport even by non-dedicated fans. In
addition, the associated risk was restricted to days involving the German soccer team and highest
during the day of the quarter and semi-finals. There was a complete lack of risk on the day the
German team played for third place and, the only day that was associated with a higher risk and
not involving the German team was the final. Altogether, these factors indicate that a stronger

14
emotional stress may be required to trigger MI. We tried to address this in our sensitivity
analysis of days involving the Swedish team playing which did not show any associated risk.
Moreover, no subgroup suffered a higher risk of MI during any sport periods that were studied
thus normal watching sport events can be considered safe.
Pathophysiological aspects
We were able to characterize MI to a higher degree than previously and this allowed us to study
STEMI and NSTEMI independently together with a wide range of subgroups. Our results
showed consistently higher risk of MI due to higher rates of NSTEMI, elderly patients and
patients with previous diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease and those on previous
medications with regard to all studied potential triggers, highlighting the concept of vulnerable
patients. Whereas the current understanding of vulnerable plaques is that it is a local process of a
systemic disease (atherosclerosis), the concept of the vulnerable patients is broader, involving
blood vulnerable to thrombosis and myocardium vulnerable to arrhythmias among other risk
factors32. It cannot be ruled out that activities and emotions associated with holiday’s results in
myocardial infarction secondary to ischemia due to an increased oxygen demand in elder and
sicker patients. This is supported by the subgroup analysis on Christmas and New Years’ holiday
(Supplementary Figure 2) that showed an incremental risk increase of MI with each age quartile
in addition to the lack of risk of STEMI, as type 2 infarctions generally do not present as
STEMI33. However, infarct type classification was not introduced in the SWEDEHEART
registry until 2010 and in order to address this topic; we conducted a post hoc analysis of risk of
MI resulting in a coronary angiography between 2004-2013. Neither Christmas nor Midsummer
holiday were associated with risk of an MI resulting in revascularization; these holidays were

15
rather associated with MI in which PCI or surgery was not deemed necessary. This suggests that
a large proportion of MI with non-occlusive coronary arteries may account for the higher risk of
MI during these holidays. Although this post hoc analysis did not take into account chronic total
occlusions or distal occlusions that were left untreated by the interventionist, these findings
warrant further investigation.
The rationale behind our subgroup analyses i.e. patients on previous medications was to
investigate possible inhibitory mechanisms of certain pharmacotherapies on the mechanisms of
the short term triggers of MI. Medications lowering heart rate, reducing blood pressure, lipids
and platelet aggregation might reduce plaque vulnerability to external triggers. For example,
beta-adrenergic inhibitors have been shown to blunt the circadian variation in MI by reducing
heart rate and blood pressure and increase coronary blood flow by prolonging diastole.34
However, in our study, patients on cardiovascular medications had similar or higher risk of MI
during holidays, our explanation to this is thus in line with our main theory - the medications
are surrogate measures of a sicker population, more vulnerable to external triggers. On the
contrary, the subgroup analyses of circadian variation were rather associated with lower risk,
Supplementary figure 4, in line with previous studies suggesting that these medications partially
blunting the mechanisms of short-term triggers of MI.
Limitations
Due to the nature of this study as an observational study, causality cannot be determined, as
unobserved confounders cannot be ruled out. Previous publications have shown a higher

incidence of MI during colder temperatures. However, it is unlikely that national holidays should
be associated with lower temperature to bias the results since control periods two weeks before
and after holidays were used.
Conclusion
In this nationwide real-world study covering 16 years of MI hospitalizations with symptom
onset documented to nearest minute, Christmas and Midsummer holidays were associated with
higher risk of MI. Consistently, we observed a higher risk in older and sicker patients,
suggesting a role of external triggers in the vulnerable patients.
