Heart attack victims who are divorced are significantly more likely to suffer a second attack, a large study has found.
Research on 30,000 men and women who had experienced a heart attack found that those who had been through a divorce were 14 percent more likely to suffer a second attack.
Experts said it was not clear whether the heartache of a marital breakup had a direct effect, or whether divorces were less likely to look after their health without a partner looking out for them.
The study by Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, examined a number of socioeconomic factors, including disposable income and level of education, as well as marital status. Patients who had suffered a heart attack were tracked for four years after being discharged from a cardiac care unit.

The Bible says that in Heaven, there is no marriage.
That’s why they call it Heaven.

Of course it could have nothing to do with swearing to The Creator of space time matter and life, that you would love each other till the day you died, and then broke that oath.
Nah, couldn't have any influence at all.

Because spending your life with someone that hates your guts is so much more Godly? People change.

Of course it could have nothing to do with swearing to The Creator of space time matter and life, that you would love each other till the day you died, and then broke that oath. Your statement assumes that the person getting the heart attack was the same person who initiated the divorce.
69% of divorces are initiated by the wives.
It seems more likely that the first heart attack reduced the husband's earning potential, leading to the wife deciding to leave.

Did they factor on suddenly being a widow or widower into this piece of crap, money wasting study? Or being the parent of a murdered child, they impact your health.

Well, but it saves some spouses from getting murdered, you have to admit.
