Advances in research on relationship of circadian disruption with cardiac dysfunction

Abstract

Accumulating evidence has shown that disruption of the circadian timing system by either endogenous genetic variants or exogenous environmental factors is significantly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death and so on. It is of great significance to understanding the relationship between circadian disruption and cardiovascular function and disease.
