The Prognostic Significance of Sleep and Circadian Rhythm for Myocardial Infarction Outcomes: Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a medical emergency resulting from coronary artery occlusion. Patients with acute MI often experience disturbed sleep and circadian rhythm. Most previous studies assessed the premorbid sleep and circadian rhythm of patients with MI and their correlations with cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about post-MI sleep and circadian rhythm and their impacts on prognosis. The use of actigraphy with different algorithms to evaluate sleep and circadian rhythm after acute MI has the potential for predicting outcomes and preventing future disease progression.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate how sleep patterns and disrupted circadian rhythm affect the prognosis of MI, using actigraphy and heart rate variability (HRV). Nonparametric a
