Frequency of Cardiac Events Associated with Circadian Rhythm Disruption: A focus on Cardiac Arrest

Abstract

Circadian rhythm indicates any physiological process that displays a day-night cycle. Biological measures of the circulatory system, such as heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), vascular resistance, and cardiac electrical cycle duration, display notable daily variation, (Zhang et al., 2014). Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Their primary source is the development of atherosclerotic plaque (arterial fatty deposits), which comprises the accumulation of fats and inflaming leukocytes within the coronary arteries. Besides high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, excess body weight, hypertension and nicotine consumption, the disturbance in circadian cycle has recently been launched as a contributing risk factor liable for the formation and evolution of cardiovascular diseases, (Tian et al., 2024). Heart disease is a significant reason for fatalities globally, while adopting biological rhythm research in cardiac science (and evidence-supported healthcare overall) supplies an innovative applied research strategy to benefit patients clinically, (Reitz & Martino., 2015). In 2017, cardiovascular diseases resulted in about 17.8 million deaths worldwide, corresponding to 330 million years of diminished life expectancy and an additional 35.6 million years lived with impairment
