背景心脏骤停的时间变化模式对于理解导致急性心血管疾病发生的机制可能是重要的。以前的研究已经报道了心脏骤停发作的日变化，早晚发生率高，一周内缺乏日变化，以及一些季节性变化。方法和结果我们调查了西雅图消防局参与的6603例院外心脏骤停患者的每周和每年(季节性)时间变化。我们观察到日变化在周一达到峰值，季节变化在冬季达到峰值。结论心脏骤停不是在一周或一年中随机发生的，而是遵循一定的周期模式。这些模式可能与活动模式有关。(《心脏杂志》1999；137：512-5。)
Background Patterns of temporal variation of cardiac arrests may be important for understanding mechanisms leading to the onset of acute cardiovascular disorders. Previous studies have reported diurnal variation of the onset of cardiac arrests, with high incidence in the morning and in the evening, lack of daily variation during the week, and some seasonal variation. Methods and Results We explored weekly and yearly (seasonal) temporal variation in 6603 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests attended by the Seattle Fire Department. We observed daily variation that peaks on Monday and seasonal variation that peaks in the winter. Conclusions Cardiac arrests do not occur randomly during the week or year but follow certain periodic patterns. These patterns are probably associated with patterns of activities.
