Anytime of the day.
Hello,
Published data from many hospital centers around the world document that over 70% of stroke events occur during day hours, specifically between 6 AM and 6 PM. And, when analyzed in greater detail, the peak incidence of acute ischemic stroke spans mid-day hours, specifically from 12 PM to 6 PM. These hours correlate with biological rhythms of rising blood pressures through morning and mid-day hours and rising stress hormones, which contribute to a vascular change by constriction of arteries and arterioles. Stroke prevention includes healthy diet, healthy exercise patterns, healthy thinking, and social interactions. These moderate stress hormone levels and blood pressure variations.
