The most dangerous times for heart attack and for all kinds of cardiovascular emergency - including sudden cardiac death, rupture or aneurysm of the aorta, pulmonary embolism and stroke - are the morning and during the last phase of sleep. on average, the extra risk of having a myocardial infarction, or heart attack, between 6 a.m. and noon is about 40%.
