& D' h5 F Z& |1 E0 C- V' RWEDNESDAY, Feb. 23 (HealthDay News) -- A major analysis of data on potential triggers for heart attacks finds that many of the substances and activities Americans indulge in every day -- coffee, alcohol, sex, even breathing -- can all help spur an attack. - b' @! |5 ], z/ o7 Q; q$ L / Y- h( u% |.

The researchers stressed that the risk for heart attack from any one of these factors to a particular person at any given time is extremely small. But spread out over the population, they can add up. ( h6 A( R& W7 Z. Z6 _+ l& X; _! e3 j" @4 M# _
For example, air pollution is a minor trigger for heart attacks, but since so many people are exposed to smog, it triggers many more heart attacks than other more potent triggers, such as alcohol and cocaine. . x/ }$ N( }) z+ Q+ N# x* F! f1 V: r% L6 m4 u( B9 I
"Small risks can be highly relevant if they are widely distributed in the population," explained lead researcher Tim S. Nawrot, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Hasselt Centre for Environmental Sciences at Hasselt University in Diepenbeek, Belgium.. M3 y+ ~' H5 |. ~/ v7 ^% U
