The study only compares heart attack increase over a couple days, not weeks. Once you account for longer time period after DST, there is no statistically significant difference between post DST heart attacks and the rest of the year. The explanation being that people who were going to have a heart attack had it sooner.

Isn’t that still bad? Everyone who dies is just someone who would have died anyway later.
