Hospital admissions for cardiovascular diseases increased during the Greek financial crisis, according to two studies from Athens. The researchers retrospectively analyzed all admissions to the cardiology department of a hospital in Athens during two time periods. The first time period, 2003 to 2007, was defined as the pre-crisis period, while 2008 to 2012 was the crisis period.
