Insight into the morning triggering of acute myocardial infarction and plaque vulnerability may inform new preventive strategies.
Cite This Study
Kondo et al. (1995) conducted a review in Acute myocardial infarction. Physical and physiological stressors (triggers) was evaluated. Patient activities and morning hours act as triggers for acute myocardial infarction by producing hemodynamic and prothrombotic forces that disrupt vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
