Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

View allWhat's the deal with moderate left ventricular (LV) function if the LVEF is 45%? My dad had an Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction (IWMI) last week. Any advice on what this means for his heart health and what steps we should be taking?
Moderate LV function means that the left ventricle of the heart is not pumping as effectively as it should be. An LVEF (Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction) of 45% indicates that the heart is pumping out 45% of the blood with each heartbeat, which is slightly below the normal range (55-70%). For your father's condition following an IWMI (Inferior Wall Myocardial Infarction), it is important to manage his heart health carefully. He may benefit from medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg once daily, beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily, and statins like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve heart function and prevent further complications. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also important for his recovery. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor his heart function and adjust treatment as needed.
