Fournier, Stephane ; Eeckhout, Eric ; Mangiacapra, Fabio ; Trana, Catalina ; Lauriers, Nathalie ; Beggah, Ahmed T. ; Monney, Pierre ; Cook, Stéphane ; Bardy, Daniel ; Vogt, Pierre ; Muller, Olivier

In: American Heart Journal, 2012, vol. 163, no. 2, p. 208–213

Background: Several parameters of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology exhibit circadian rhythms. Recently, a relation between infarct size and the time of day at which it occurs has been suggested in experimental models of myocardial infarction. The aim of this study is to investigate whether circadian rhythms could cause differences in ischemic burden in patients with ST-elevation...
