Circadian variation in the frequency of ischemic stroke.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The frequency of myocardial infarction and sudden death is increased between 6 AM and noon. To determine whether the same is true for the onset of ischemic stroke, we studied 426 consecutive patients within 12 hours after the onset of their first hemispheric stroke. The frequency of onset of hemispheric stroke was significantly (p = 0.0001) higher from 6:01 AM to noon (56.1%) than from 12:01 PM to 6 PM (20.2%), from 6:01 PM to midnight (8.2%), and from 12:01 AM to 6 AM (15.5%). The identification of periods of high risk for vascular events may have important therapeutic implications, such as matching drug effects with vulnerability.

Introduction: The silent brain lesions detected by MRI were fairly common not only in first-ever stroke but also in normal elderly subjects. Some recent studies show the possible role of silent sub-cortical brain infarction in ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of silent sub-cortical brain infarction in acute first-ever ischemic stroke. Methods: In this descrip...
