The circadian variation in the incidence of cardiovascular events may be attributable to the circadian changes in vascular contractility. The circadian rhythm of vascular contractility is determined by the interplay between the central and peripheral clocks. However, the molecular mechanism of the vascular intrinsic clock that generates the circadian rhythm of vascular contractility still remains largely unknown.
