Description: Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a daily reduction in the flexibility of blood vessels, which may help explain why heart attacks and strokes occur most frequently in the early morning hours. The findings are published June 1 in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. �The human body maintains a balance of blood pressure and blood flow by expanding or contracting blood vessels,� says Virend Somers, M.D., Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic cardiologist and leader of the study. �Much of this expansion is directed by a layer of cells called the endothelium, which lines the blood vessels. Risks of sudden death, heart attack and stroke are 30 to 50 percent higher in the early morning hours, so we wanted to determine whether the endothelium�s effects are diminished in the morning.�
