    TLDR Understanding and tracking our body's natural daily rhythms could help improve heart health.
    In the 2014 document, the authors discussed the role of circadian rhythms—24-hour cycles in physiological processes—in cardiovascular health. They reviewed how variations in clock gene expression can affect cardiovascular functions and how disruptions in circadian rhythms may contribute to cardiovascular diseases. The paper emphasized the importance of understanding and diagnosing circadian rhythm disorders in clinical settings. Additionally, the authors introduced a new non-invasive method to assess circadian regulation using human hair follicle cells, suggesting a potential tool for diagnosing and studying circadian-related disorders.
