Abstract

The circadian variation in blood pressure is an important factor influencing various changes in the body over a 24-hour cycle and it has recently been in the focus of research for its ability to act as a sign of cardiovascular health. The following paper examines the interconnection, between the rhythmic pattern that characterizes blood pressure and how this affects cardiovascular events. It integrates newly appearing data that explain the applicability, prognostic, and therapeutic importance of those changes in recognizing and preventing the cardiovascular comorbidities. In fact, research confirms the affiliation between the daily fluctuation of circulatory pressure and the enhanced propensity for cardiovascular disorder, underlining the need for round-the-clock blood pressure regulation. Furthermore, there is clear evidence connecting disruption of the standard diurnal cycle, for instance due to abnormally sleeping or shift work, with increased vulnerability of hypertension and unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes. It is also seen that such patterns of reasons are possible if there is an innovative therapy for addressing cardiac ailments.
