Arterial hypertension and COVID-19 in Arctic rotating shift work: the impact of chronostructure disruptions on circadian blood pressure rhythm in relation to echocardiographic para... by Nina P. Shurkevich, Aleksandr S. Vetoshkin, Maria A. Kareva, Denis G. Gubin

“…Results – Logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of the “Aperiodic AH” chronotype was associated with a threefold increase in the odds of contracting COVID-19, while a 1 g/m² increase in the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) increased these odds by a factor of 1.02. One year post-COVID-19, individuals with “Aperiodic AH”, in contrast to those with “MESOR AH”, exhibited increases in right atrial and inferior vena cava diameters, systolic pulmonary artery pressure, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, stroke volume, and cardiac output, as well as a more pronounced increase in left ventricular mass and LVMI. …”
