Acute sleep deprivation (ASD) and cardioprotection: Impact of ASD on oxytocin-mediated sympathetic nervous activation preceding myocardial infarction

This study explored how acute sleep deprivation (ASD) before myocardial ischemia influences oxytocin release from paraventricular (PVN) neurons and its correlation with sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity post-acute sleep loss, impacting subsequent left ventricular (LV) remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI).
