Summary
This paper examines the relationship between biological/circadian rhythms and cardiovascular disease, highlighting how disruption of the internal clock may contribute to cardiac risk. For lighting designers and healthcare environments, this underscores the importance of maintaining proper light-dark cycles to support circadian alignment and cardiovascular health outcomes.
