According to the Medical Daily, workers who frequently work overtime are more likely to suffer heart attacks and strokes according to a new major study.

Findings published in the American Journal of Epidemiology show that a combination of stress, raised blood pressure and unhealthy diets from toiling long working hours may be causing many employees to have heart problems. 

Scientists claim that working long hours could raise the risk of heart disease by 80%.
