Cardiometabolic Disease Risks Associated with Sleep Deficiency
How does insufficient sleep duration, irregular timed sleep schedules, and poor sleep quality contribute to the pathophysiology of lung, heart and blood diseases?
How does insufficient sleep duration, irregular timed sleep schedules, and poor sleep quality contribute to the pathophysiology of lung, heart and blood diseases?
What are the fundamental mechanisms of drug, chemical, or biologics-induced cardiotoxicity (e.g., which proteins or signaling targets are most vulnerable)? Would such knowledge lead to understanding of the most critical signaling systems and contribute to development of new therapeutic (cardioprotective) strategies?
In the US, what kind of diet(s) is/are best for preventing hard cardiovascular events?
Would better management of modifiable risk factors, including obesity, sleep apnea, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and metabolic syndrome, reduce atrial fibrillation recurrence? Furthermore, what are the best methods to reduce the onset, hospitalization, and death due to atrial fibrillation, especially that associated with aging
Does treating depression improve survival and reduce major adverse cardiac events in acute coronary syndrome patients?

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for both men and women worldwide. It has been established that post-menopausal women have decreased protection from ASCVD relative to premenopausal women and men. However, the hormonal basis of protection (or lack thereof) is not clear.
