Shift work and heart function in healthcare workers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how shift work (working outside regular daytime hours) might affect the heart's ability to relax between beats, which is called diastolic function. If you are a healthcare worker, this research could help us understand if your work schedule impacts your heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be employed in a healthcare role like a nurse, doctor, or technician
- Your work schedule may involve shifts, including days, evenings, nights, or rotating shifts
- You need to be willing to undergo tests that check how well your heart relaxes between beats
