The risk of having a heart attack on any given day should be one in seven, but a six-year study coordinated by researchers at the Free University of Berlin of more than 2,600 Germans revealed that average person had a 20 percent higher chance of having aheart attack on aMondaythan on any other day．

Working Germans tend to be influenced particularly,with a 33 percent higher risk at the beginning of the working week．Non—workers，by comparison, appear to be no more at risk on a Monday than any other day．

The findings could lead to a better understanding of what triggers heart attacks, according to Dr．Stefan Willich of the Free University．"We know a lot about long- term risk factors such as smoking and cholesterol but we don’t know what actually triggers heart attacks, so we can’t make specific recommendations about how to prevent that", he said．

What if you were having a heart attack, but no one believed you A new study of 515 female heart-attack survivors (aged 29 to 97) reveals that this happens all too often.
In the study, 95% said they knew something was seriously wrong a month or more before their heart attack, but none of their doctors had even told them that they had heart disease. And when their heart attack happened, fewer than 30% had chest pain or discomfort, the classic warning signs that most emergency room physicians and nurses look for.
One study volunteer in her mid-30s had a heart attack while driving her children to school. "She had repeatedly sought help for early warning symptoms," says study author Jean McSweeney of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Despite abnormal cardiac stress test results, she got no treatment. Two weeks later, she nearly died.
Here are the signs that a heart attack may be weeks away: extreme fatigue, disturbed sleep, shortness of
A. no one believes women’s study
B. few people believe women’s warning signs
C. women’s heart attack is often ignored
D. women always realized their dangers

[单项选择]When risk of death from heart attack is plotted on a graph against alcohol consumption, studies consistently show a U-shaped curve, which suggests that non-drinkers and heavy drinkers have higher rates of heart disease than light to moderate drinkers. The implication is that moderate drinking offers protection from heart disease.
For years, doctors believed that the death rate among people who do not drink at all was artificially high because it included a substantial number of reformed drinkers, irreparably damaged by alcohol. However, more recent studies which separate life-long drinkers from abstainers have shown that abstainers are still at high risk.
Studies have shown that moderate drinkers have higher levels of high-density lipoproteins (脂蛋白) in their blood. This is the "good" cholesterol that protects against heart disease. Alcohol also appears to reduce the risk of heart diseases. Though drinking alcohol in moderation undoubtedly brings some benefits, it is impor
A. Why people should not drink alcohol.
B. The relationship between drinking alcohol and the possibility of cancer.
C. Benefits and dangers of drinking alcohol.
D. Reasons for drinking alcohol.

Scientists Develop Ways of Detecting Heart Attack
German researchers have (1) a new generation of defibrillators and early warning software aimed at offering heart patients greater protection (2) sudden death from cardiac arrest.
In Germany alone around 100,000 people die annually as a result of cardiac arrest and many of these cases (3) by disruption to the heart’s rhythm. Those most at risk are Patients who have (4) suffered a heart attack and for years the use of defibrillators has proved useful in diagnosing (5) disruptions to heart rhythms and correcting them automatically by intervening within seconds. These devices (6) a range of functions such as that of pacemaker.
Heart specialists at Freiburg’s University Clinic have now achieved a breakthrough with all implanted defibrillator (7) of generating a six-channel electrocardiogram(ECG) within the body. This integrated system allows ea
A. maximum
B. minimum
C. majority
D. minority
