As per recent reports, it has been revealed that scientists have recently uncovered the first ever molecular confirmation that the “biological clock” is somehow associated with a sort of sudden and extremely lethal heart attack.

Ventricular arrhythmia, also known as abnormal heartbeat in common sense, mostly occurs frequently following waking up of the patient first up in the morning. In addition, it has been claimed that it tend to result into a comparatively higher number of casualty as compared to other cases.

As per reports made available recently in the latest edition of the journal Nature, researchers from the US have claimed that they have recently unmasked the first ever molecular association connecting abnormal heartbeat with circadian rhythm.

Circadian rhythm, also known as the 'body clock', is said to be the 24-hour biological procedure that tends to controls aspects such as sleep patterns. Scientists are however of the opinion that the levels of a protein dubbed Klf15 can be the most important link between heart attacks and circadian rhythms.

A large number of earlier researches have also claimed that Klf15 to be a circadian controller, though it is also having a scarcity amid a few patients who tend to experience heart failure.

The team then made use mice that had basically been genetically engineered to whichever scarcity of Klf15 or fabricate the protein exceptionally for the sake of testing the theory. In either of the cases, the rodents was said to have a much elevated threat of arrhythmias as compared to their normal counterparts.

While expressing his opinion in this regard, an expert from the Baylor College School of Medicine, Xander Wehrens, said: “If there was too much Klf15 or none, the mice were at risk for developing the arrhythmia”.
