A new study, which was presented on the Open Democracy website, (and presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting,) claims that it based its information on regular checks on 22,093 patients at Kalamata’s General Hospital over a period of eight years.
According to the results, apparently patients were recorded to have suffered 1,084 heart attacks between the period of 2008-2012 as opposed to only 841 patients in the four year period before the outbreak of the financial crisis.
What is truly impressive is that the increase is even more dramatic among women as heart attacks rose by more than 39 percent and acute myocardial infarctions increased by as much as 51 percent!
