Summary: Over 7 percent of patients were shoveling snow when the symptoms began. About two thirds were men average age was 63 and were highly to have had a family history of premature cardiovascular disease. The 7 percent significant and the number may be much higher, since many patients may not have mentioned that they were shoveling snow at the time their symptoms began.
Critique: I thought it was pretty interesting, because I never thought that shoveling snow would give you a heart attack.
Impact: This might be true for older men instead of younger, and maybe women also.
