Abstract
Circadian clocks affect cardiovascular system and thought to be responsible for the increased vascular events during certain periods. Determination of the diurnal variation of acute vascular thrombotic events might help us for protection of patients during vulnerable periods. In this review, we investigate diurnal variation in acute thrombotic vascular events in the light of recent information.
