The circadian clock regulates many aspects of physiology including cardiovascular function. Internal oscillators exist in endothelial, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts of the vasculature. Vascular tone and thrombus formation – two key elements of vascular function in regard to adverse cardiovascular events - exhibit diurnal rhythmicity. In this review, we describe changes in vascular function that result from genetic disruption of discrete elements of the circadian clock.
