Abstract
Daily fluctuations in energetic demand and nutrient supply are associated with 24-hour changes in cardiovascular parameters.
- Metabolic processes vary throughout the day to meet the body's needs for energy and building blocks.
- Cardiovascular functional parameters, such as blood pressure and heart rate, exhibit rhythmic changes that align with daily cycles.
- Cells related to cardiovascular function utilize internal circadian clocks to regulate metabolic pathways in anticipation of daily stimuli.
- Circadian misalignment or disruption may play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease.
