International Consortium-Fatal Heart Stoppage-Innate Immune System-Circadian Clock

Heart beats to the rhythm of a circadian clock

Sudden cardiac death -- catastrophic and unexpected fatal heart stoppage -- is more likely to occur shortly after waking in the morning and in the late night. In a new study, an international consortium of researchers explains the molecular linkage between the circadian clock and the deadly heart rhythms that lead to sudden death. read more..
