Why do heart attacks happen at night?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Researchers found that at around 6:30 a.m. the circadian system sends out an increased amount of PAI-1 cells which blocks blood clots from breaking down. The more PAI-1 cells in the blood, the higher the risk for a blood clot that leads to a heart attack

I'm dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?

I'm a bit worried because I did a routine ECG and it mentioned Normal Sinus Rhythm with a Right Bundle Branch Block and labeled it as an abnormal ECG. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about the Right Bundle Branch Block? Is it something serious?
I can explain what these findings mean. A Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart's basic electrical pattern is normal, with impulses starting in the right place (the sinus node). Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a fairly common condition where there's a delay in the electrical signal as it travels to the right side of your heart. While the ECG is marked as "abnormal" due to the RBBB, this finding can be completely benign in many people, especially if you have no symptoms. However, since I can't see your actual ECG and don't know your medical history, it would be best to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can properly interpret the findings in the context of your overall health.
