According to a new study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, managing circadian rhythms through intense light and chronologically timed therapy can help prevent or treat a variety of circulatory system conditions including heart disease.
The findings of the study were published in the Journal Circulation Research.
"The impact of circadian rhythms on cardiovascular function and disease development is well established," said the study's lead author Tobias Eckle, MD, PhD, professor of anesthesiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "However, translational preclinical studies targeting the heart's circadian biology are just now emerging and are leading to the development of a novel field of medicine termed circadian medicine."
