Circadian variation in the frequency of onset of acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: If coronary arteries become vulnerable to occlusion when the intima covering an atherosclerotic plaque is disrupted, the circadian timing of myocardial infarction may result from a variation in the tendency to thrombosis.

2007 Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension

TL;DR: The European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society Of Cardiology (ESC) as mentioned in this paper decided not to produce their own guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension but to endorse the guidelines on hypertension issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of hypertension (ISH)1,2 with some adaptation to reflect the situation in Europe.

The rhythm of the normal human heart.

TL;DR: The 24-hour cardiac rhythm was studied in 86 subjects aged 16-65 years, after exclusion of 15 additional volunteers with suspected abnormalities, and the number of arrhythmias was significantly higher in smokers.

Pathology of acute myocardial infarction with particular reference to occlusive coronary thrombi.

TL;DR: Analysis of the pathological findings in 500 cases of fatal acute myocardial infarction showed that in 469 this was localized to one transmural area of the left ventricle; in 31 there was diffuse subendocardial necrosis, suggesting general failure of coronary perfusion.

Components of blood pressure and risk of atherothrombotic brain infarction: the Framingham study.

TL;DR: It has been ascertained that hypertension is the most common and most powerful precursor to ABI, and the simple casual systolic pressure emerged as good a predictor of ABI incidence as any other component of the pressure.
