Research led by the University of Manitoba says the incomes of workers aged 40 to 61 who suffer heart attack, stroke and/or cardiac arrest are significantly less than similarly-aged individuals who don't have a cardiovascular event. The data suggest in the three years after the illness, loss of income totals:

  • Eight percent for those who had a heart attack;
  • Twenty-three percent for those who had cardiac arrest; and
  • Thirty-one percent for those who had a stroke.

The study also determines that workers who suffer a cardiovascular event are more likely to stop working altogether than those who haven't had one of those illnesses.
