Call center night shift leads to heart attack

I was curious to know whether working in call center, BPOs late at leaves any effect to the health of your heart. Let me rephrase this: are night shift call center people susceptible to heart attack or heart related problem more than day workers? I found out this article from BBC, which is really really scary.
It says: call-center-heart-attack

It says:

People who work nights are more prone to a dangerous heart condition - possibly because of the chronic stress caused by their work patterns, research suggests.
Scientists compared employees who worked shifts, including nights with others who worked normal daytime working hours.


More than any other reaosn, lack of sleep etc, chronic stress is cited as the main culprit.


The researchers say an irregular heartbeat can be an indicator a person will go on to develop more serious heart problems.
