Não escolha o fim de semana para enfartar

Um estudo do New England Journal of Medicine concluiu que os pacientes com enfarte do miocárdio admitidos ao fim de semana têm maior mortalidade que os que são admitidos num dia da semana:

For patients with myocardial infarction, admission on weekends is associated with higher mortality and lower use of invasive cardiac procedures. Our findings suggest that the higher mortality on weekends is mediated in part by the lower rate of invasive procedures, and we speculate that better access to care on weekends could improve the outcome for patients with acute myocardial infarction.
