A circadian variation of cardiac function with peak in the early morning was documented about twenty years ago. A circadian rhythm of platelet aggregability, in the same time of the day, was demonstrated in healthy young male subjects. The morning hours were also reported as crucial for sympathetic nervous system activity, for heart rate variability ...

Incidence of Sudden Cardiac Death in the European Union.
BACKGROUND Although sudden cardiac death (SCD) is recognized as a high-priority public health topic, reliable estimates of the incidence of SCD or, more broadly, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), in the population are scarce, especially in the ...

Sudden cardiac death describes the unexpected natural death from a cardiac cause within a short time period, generally ≤ 1 h from the onset of symptoms, in a person without any prior condition that would appear fatal [1, 2]. Such a rapid death is often attributed to a cardiac arrhythmia, but with the advent of monitoring capabilities from implantable ...
