[Socio-biorhythm of heart-infarct mortality--the subcycle of weekdays].
Examinations of all persons who suddenly on the way died of myocardial infarction who were 70 years old and younger (so-called U-cases) in the GDR from 1970 to 1974 on the basis of certificates of death resulted in a statistically significant different distribution of persons who died on the way to the physician or in the waiting-room (so-called cases U3) compared with persons who suddenly died during transport (so-called cases U4) in 6 town-counties. From the results regional-specific causes of organizational kind in the outpatient public health and at the level of population could be derived as well as conclusions could be made for the secondary prevention by decrease of the socially determined subcycles.
