Heart disease: The paper discusses the circadian patterns of heart rate and adverse cardiac events, and the role of the autonomic nervous system in controlling these patterns.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a part of the brain that controls circadian rhythms, in regulating heart rate.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of circadian rhythms, which are crucial for regulating sleep-wake cycles, in controlling heart rate fluctuations.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how circadian rhythms, which affect alertness and performance, also control heart rate fluctuations.
Sports and athletic performance: The paper discusses the impact of physical activity, such as running, on the amplitude of circadian heart rate fluctuations.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of various hormones and neurotransmitters in the regulation of heart rate and its circadian fluctuations.
