Abstract
Background: It has been shown in previous studies there is circadian variation in the onset of acute myocardial infarction. The objective of this study wasto evaluate the relation of circadian variation inonset of Acute Myocardial infarction in Diabetic subjects.Methods: This study was conducted at the Services Institute of Medical SciencesLahore and Punjab Institute of Cardiology from January 2015 to February 2016. Hundreddiabetic and 100 Non-diabetic patients with Myocardial infarction were included in the study. Among diabetics those were included in the studythat had diabetes for ≥5years. The time of onset of symptoms to determine the circadian rhythm was noted. In order to determine the frequency of acute myocardial infarction associated with circadian rhythm, 24 hours of the day weredivided into four equal sections of 6 hours each. We noted time of onset of acute MI. Thereafter, patients were bracketed in their respectivesix-hour time periods. These six-hour periods were 0–6, 6:01–12, 12:01–18, and 18:01–24 hours.Result:In this study patients’ mean age was 59.16±13.81.Forty-two (71.2%) non-diabetic patients had acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during 6:00–12:00 hours whereas 17(28.8%) diabetic patients presented with AMI during this time.Conclusion:Incidence of AMI is significantly increased in the morning 6:01–12:00 hours in non-diabetics. However, diabetic subjects did not show significant increased incidence of AMI during this time rather there was increased incidence of AMI during 0–6:00 hours
