Currently, it is internationally recognized that the peak period for coronary heart disease attacks is between 6 a.m. and 12 a.m., accounting for about 70% to 80% of all patients. Sudden cardiac death mostly occurs between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. This period of time is often referred to as the “devil time” for coronary heart disease.
However, about 20% to 30% of patients have attacks at night, around 18:00 to 24:00. Among them, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia are most common between 18 and 21 o’clock; myocardial infarction is most common between 19 and 22 o’clock. We call this peak period at night the sub-peak period.
By being alert to the “devil time” when coronary heart disease attacks occur, combining prevention and treatment, and focusing on prevention, we can reduce attacks, improve quality of life, avoid danger, and reduce mortality. The following measures are for reference.

1. Avoid “devil’s time”
It is best for patients with coronary heart disease not to do morning exercises or exercise in the evening. It is better to exercise in the afternoon. Avoid getting angry, tired, or getting cold during the “devil’s hour”; don’t overeat dinner.
2. Go to bed on time
It’s best not to burn the midnight oil. Go to bed before 23:00 in the evening. Drink a glass of warm water before going to bed and when you get up in the morning to improve blood viscosity. Soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed can improve blood circulation and improve blood vessel elasticity. Ensure 7 to 8 hours of sleep.
3. Take medicine at the right time
If the disease occurs at night, you can take the medicine once at 17:00; if the disease occurs at night, you can take the medicine once before going to bed to prevent the night time from being too long and causing an attack in the next morning. Take the first dose of the day when you wake up the next morning.
4. Be prepared
For patients with coronary heart disease, emergency medicines such as nitroglycerin and Suxiao Jiuxin Pills are always available.
5. Eat a light diet
Eat more vegetables, radishes, tomatoes, and black fungus. Don’t eat a high-fat diet.
6. Reduce stress
After intense work and study, there must be an opportunity to relax and have fun.

7. Sleep on a tilting bed
Angina pectoris and myocardial infarction often occur at night. That’s because when you lie down at night, the amount of blood returned to the heart increases, which increases the burden on the heart. Surveys have shown that patients who are prone to angina pectoris while lying on their backs do not have angina pectoris attacks after sleeping on a tilt bed and without taking medicine at night. A tilt bed raises the head of the bed 10 to 15 degrees. The upper body is tall and the lower body is low.
8. Get a massage
