Quote There were around 30 percent fewer heart attack patients admitted to hospitals across Finland last spring, and telecommuting may be behind the trend, according to an expert from the Helsinki and Uusimaa hospital district (HUS).

Chief physician at HUS' heart and lung centre, Mika Laine, told Yle Radio 1 on Wednesday that the clear reduction in heart attacks as well as strokes were related to environmental, not genetic, factors.

Stress hormones are known to raise blood pressure and cause heart arrhythmia, and it is widely thought that teleworking and the more relaxed approach to working from home have alleviated potential cardiovascular strain of many workers.
