Background: Circadian disruptions, such as shift work, sleep irregularity, and chronic circadian misalignment, have been increasingly linked to adverse health outcomes, particularly affecting cardiovascular health. These disruptions alter inflammatory neuroendocrine pathways, which may accelerate disease risk. This meta-analysis aimed synthesize evidence on the association between markers, dysregulation, outcomes. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Scopus databases, covering studies published 2015 2024. Eligible included observational experimental designs assessing impact documented markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-α), biomarkers (cortisol, melatonin), outcomes (coronary heart disease, events, metabolic risk). Quality assessment performed Risk Bias Tool for Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) studies. Due substantial heterogeneity across studies, a narrative synthesis supported by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, visual comparative techniques applied, rather than formal pooled effect size calculation. Results: Eight (n=744) reported increased TNF-α) in (p < 0.05–0.01). Misalignment altered cortisol rhythms secretion 0.05). Correlation analysis showed moderate positive dysregulation Shift work misalignment had highest risk, with stronger effects longer Most low-to-moderate bias.

ABSTRACT Background Endothelial function (EndFx) is a core component of cardiovascular (CV) health and cardioprotection following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Hypothesis AMI patients experience endothelial dysfunction (EndDys), associated traditional CV risk factors sleep patterns. EndFx may also predict short mid‐term outcomes. Methods was assessed in 63 (56.2 ± 7.6 years) using the Endothelium Quality Index (EQI). Sleep quality quantity were evaluated objective (actigraphy) subjective (Pittsburgh questionnaire) measures.

Background Myocardial infarction (MI) is a medical emergency resulting from coronary artery occlusion. Patients with acute MI often experience disturbed sleep and circadian rhythm. Most previous studies assessed the premorbid rhythm of patients their correlations cardiovascular disease. However, little known about post-MI impacts on prognosis. The use actigraphy different algorithms to evaluate after has potential for predicting outcomes preventing future disease progression.

Background: A circadian rhythm of myocardial infarction has been described but there is little data on its relation with seasons and months. Methods: From June 2013 to 2018, we analyzed the alerts for acute ST-segment elevation (STEMI) in a Spanish region 6.64 million inhabitants, universal health coverage, an organized STEMI reperfusion network. We selected those patients which identifiable culprit plaque. Results: recruited 6765 cases due type I (type-I AMI), mean age 63.2 years (range 17–101, standard deviation [SD] 13.7), 5238 were males (77.4%) 2801 (41.9%) 65 or older. The hourly distribution followed fixed pattern all months, most events occurring between 6:00 AM 4:00 PM, peak at approximately 01:00 PM valley 10:00 06:00 AM. No significant difference was found when comparing time first medical contact July (the month more daylight hours) December shortest days). differences male female patients, aged older younger patients.

Our study aimed to investigate pathophysiological changes in left ventricular (LV) function using transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) LV tissue transcriptomics WD-fed C57BL/6 J mice 125 days, starting at age 300 through 425 days. In female mice, diet showed structure possible HFpEF-like phenotype with compensatory cardiac structural later life. male ECHO revealed an HFrEF-like life without detectable alterations. The transcriptomic profile sex-associated dichotomy function. Specifically, 530-day, exhibited differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were overrepresented pathways associated endocrine function, signal transduction, cardiomyopathies.
