We read with interest the recent publication of Rallidis et al. [
[1]
] reporting the circadian pattern of symptoms onset in patients presenting with ST-segment
elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Authors should be commended for their work
where they succeed to report a total of 256 patients being <35 years old.Keywords
