Analysis of the 24 hour profile of premature ventricular contractions showed a significantly (P &amp;lt; 0.05) higher frequency during midday to midnight than between midnight and midday. The frequency of supraventricular tachycardia was significantly (P &amp;lt; 0.05) higher during the periods from 12.00 hours to 16.00 hours (11.0 \u00b1 12) and 16.00 hours to 20.00 hours (11.3 \u00b1 11) than during the periods of 00.00 hours to 04.00 hours (3.6 \u00b1 3) and 04.00 hours to 08.00 hours (6.0 \u00b1 8). The period of the highest incidence of all arrhythmias was between 16.00 hours to 24.00 hours, and that of lowest during the period between 04.00 hours to 12.00 hours (P &amp;lt; 0.01). After one week's treatment with nadolol the frequency of all arrhythmias was strikingly reduced but their pattern of occurrence remained unchanged. These studies suggest that patients who present with symptoms attributable to arrhythmias tend to have these more frequently during the physical and mental activities of the day and evening presumably due to the accompanying sympathetic overactivity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.62.725.175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T20:58:16Z","timestamp":1230584296000},"page":"175-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of a long acting beta-adrenoceptor blocker on diurnal variation of cardiac dysrhythmias"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"M A","family":"Mir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Wales College of Medicine , Heath Park, Cardiff CF4 4XW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"666","article-title":"Mechanism and diagnosis of arrhythmias","author":"BIGGER, J.T.","year":"1980","unstructured":"BIGGER, J.T.
