[Diurnal pattern of cardiovascular parameters in round-the-clock production operators]
Abstract:
Electric network dispatchers, with high psychoemotional stress level at work, demonstrated inverted diurnal pattern of intershift changes in most cardiovascular parameters. This pattern was smoothed in first shifts with relatively low intensity. Second successive 12-hour shifts could have the pattern smoothed oppositely--if increased work intensity--that proves depleted cardiovascular adaptive resources. Increased intensity of working shift brings about higher intershift changes in prevailing parasympathetic cardiovascular regulation mostly due to daily shift load.

The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Cardiac Output I:Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output (CO) refers to the total amount of blood ejected by one of the ventricles in liters per minute (L/min). In a resting adult, CO ranges from 5 to 6 L/min, adjusting according to the body's metabolic requirements.
Effect of Heart Rate on Cardiac Output
Cardiac output adapts to metabolic demands during stress, physical activity, or illness. The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate via the sinoatrial node. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate...
