In addition, 11 percent of the patients said they'd been performing heavy exercise before their symptoms arose something that is not advised.
"It is generally recommended that people not perform heavy exertion in the initial weeks after receiving a stent, since this may increase risk of stent thrombosis (blood clot)," Tofler told Reuters Health by email.
According to Holmes, the findings also raise the question of whether patients' anti-clotting medication doses may be wearing off by the early morning, and whether it might be better to split the dose into two, taken in the morning and night.
Tofler, however, expressed doubts about that. The "duration of action" of both aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix) the anti-clotting drug commonly given to stent patients is longer than one day, he said.
"So unless people weren't taking those tablets when they should have been," Tofler said, "timing should not have been a problem."<end_of_turn>
