If you
work in an office for 11 hours a
day, you should take a break while, for
several hours.
A study has found that those who worked more than 11 hours without stopping, 2/3 chance of heart attack.
The researchers say the risk is so great that doctors are often asked how long they work while drinking or smoking.
The team from University College London, pay attention to more than 7,000 civil servants working in Whitehall for 11 years and how long they worked on average in a day.
They also gather information about their heart condition from medical records and health checks.
During that period, as many as 192 of them suffered a heart attack. But a study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, found that those who worked more than 11 hours a day, 67 percent of likely coronary heart disease than those who work 'five to nine hours'.
The researchers say
their findings could potentially prevent thousands of heart
attacks each year, because they will help doctors find
a solution on the patient's condition.
Patients at high risk, due to obesity or smoking can be recommended to reduce their working hours.
Prof. Mika Kivimaki, the leader of the study said, "We have shown that working long hours is closely associated with the risk of heartd isease."
"Taking into account the working hours of the diagnosis of the patient become simpler and more rewarding. Our study should be a standard reference in practice."
"This new information helps improve treatment decisions in the treatment of heart disease."
Around 2.6 million British people have heart disease, organ blood supply due to blocked by a build up of fatty deposits in coronary arteries.
This is the biggest killer diseases, claimed about 101,000 lives each year. A heart attack occurs when coronary arteries are completely blocked, so the blood supply is blocked, the heart of who should get the blood supply will die.
Patients who are at higher risk if they smoke, have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity or lack of exercise. As reported by the Daily Mail, Prof. Peter Weissberg, medical director of The British Heart Foundation, said, "Whitehaal studies have been very influential in shaping our British Heart Foundation, said, "
"These latest findings suggest that long working hours could potentially increase the risk of heart attack."
"But more research is needed to confirm this association and clarify how it can be used to change our current approach in assessing a person's risk of heart attack and what advice we recommend that a condition of work."
