Heart attack: The shower habit that could ‘precipitate’ a heart attack in the 'healthy'
HEART disease - one of the biggest killers in the UK - is characterised by difficulty pumping blood around the body. Some studies have shown that several habits could trigger an event, one of which may occur in the shower

Heart attack is understood mainly in terms of its association with other comorbidities (having more than one condition concurrently), such as high cholesterol and hypertension. A sudden halt in blood flow to the heart can dangerously starve the organ of oxygen, although people are still conscious and breathing. One habit in the shower could precipitate the onset of symptoms.
