Matters of the Heart: Case-Crossover Analysis of Myocardial Infarction on Valentine's Day

We studied the risk of myocardial infarction on Valentine's Day. We conducted a case-crossover study of 51,450 adults with myocardial infarctions in February, 1989-2019. The exposure was Valentine's Day, and the 2 days before and after Valentine's Day. We estimated odds ratios (OR) to...

description We studied the risk of myocardial infarction on Valentine's Day. We conducted a case-crossover study of 51,450 adults with myocardial infarctions in February, 1989-2019. The exposure was Valentine's Day, and the 2 days before and after Valentine's Day. We estimated odds ratios (OR) to compare days when myocardial infarction occurred with neighboring control days. Compared with other days, Valentine's Day was associated with lower odds of myocardial infarction the following day for men (OR 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.85-0.98), but not for men and women combined (OR 0.95, 95% confidence interval 0.91-1.01). Risk of myocardial infarction in men is lower the day after Valentine's Day.
