Biological clock rhythm disorder and hypertension / 国际脑血管病杂志

Biological clock proteins are involved in the regulation of many important physiological processes, including blood pressure. The deletion or mutation of core circadian clock genes may cause elevated blood pressure levels and disrupted blood pressure rhythms, exacerbating vascular function damage, and ultimately leading to the occurrence, development and poor outcome of ischemic stroke. This article reviews the molecular mechanism of biological clock rhythm, the relationship between biological clock gene and blood pressure regulation mechanism, the mechanism of circadian rhythm disorder in the occurrence and development of hypertension, and the relationship between blood pressure rhythm disorder and stroke.
