Distinct circadian mechanisms govern cardiac rhythms and susceptibility to arrhythmia

May 2, 2021
Hayter, E.A., Wehrens, S.M.T., Van Dongen, H.P.A. et al. Distinct circadian mechanisms govern cardiac rhythms and susceptibility to arrhythmia. Nat Commun 12, 2472 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-22788-8 Abstract Electrical activity in the heart exhibits 24-hour rhythmicity, and potentially fatal arrhythmias are more likely to occur at specific times of day. Here, we demonstrate that circadian clocks within the brain and heart set...
