Abstract
Available evidence suggests that the occurrence of cardiovascular events, for example, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, and sudden death, exhibits a peak on Monday compared to other days of the week, and this Monday excess risk in cardiovascular mortality has been estimated with an odds ratio of 1.19. An earlier single-center study confirmed such Monday preference also for onset of ischemic stroke. This retrospectively study, conducted by using the database of the region Emilia-Romagna (RER) of Italy, was aimed to investigate whether the most common risk factors, such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, could influence the temporal weekly pattern of onset of ischemic stroke or not…I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
