Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the following questions.
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly
interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been
known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly
longer and quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in
cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more
susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the
mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and
concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence
of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack
rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And
unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way
to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure
is triggered.

A risk factors in heart attacks B. seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks
C. cardiology in the 1980s D. diet and stress as factors in heart attacks
