Research has found that job satisfaction is the most important factor in predicting and possibly preventing heart attacks. Also related to this is research showing that more heart attacks occur on Monday (the typical start of the work week) than any other day of the week, and more persons have heart attacks between 8:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M. (which is right before the start of the typical workday) than any other time of the day. However, at least one study has not concluded that job satisfaction is such an effective predictor for heart attacks.
