[Circadian rhythms and the risk of the development of a myocardial infarct]
Abstract:
As many as 70 patients were examined under conditions of a cardio resuscitation unit to gain insight into relatedness of time of development of acute of myocardial infarction (AMI) to its forms and particular clinical picture. The highest risk of AMI development was recordable within the time interval of 6-12 hours with the existing dependence for morning probability of microfocal AMI, daytime probability of microfocal and transmural AMI, with significant reduction thereof within the interval of 18-24 hours. Lesser probability of AMI development within 18-24 hours was closely related to reduction of levels of aspartate aminotransferases, lactatdegidrogenases, and creatinphosphokinases in AMI patients within this time interval.
