This study reports the time of onset of chest pain in 792 consecutive elderly patients admitted to a coronary care unit with myocardial infarction during a 10-year period. Statistical analysis demonstrated a bimodal frequency distribution with peaks in the time of Onset of chest pain between 23 h 30 and 00 h 30 and between 06 h 30 and 08 h 30.
