We are delighted to share our latest findings today in nature. We describe cardiogenic regulation of sleep after cardiac injury. “Myocardial infarction augments sleep to limit cardiac inflammation and damage” nature.com/articles/s4158…

We find that atherosclerosis, heart failure, and myocardial infarction (MI) profoundly augment sleep. MI elicits a significant increase in slow wave sleep pressure, drive, and abundance after infarct. Increased SWS comes at the expense of REM and wake time. How does this happen?

After MI, microglia recruit monocytes to the brain’s thalamus via the choroid plexus and 3ed ventricle. Once in the lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus, monocytes gain the capacity to produce TNF which engages a subset of glutamatergic neurons to instigate a sleep circuit.

Increased sleep after MI is beneficial. In mice, fragmenting sleep after an MI worsens cardiac inflammation and damage. Sleep and TNFR1+ thalamic neurons limit sympathetic outflow from the brain to the heart, curtailing cardio-inflammation in a macrophage ADRβ2-dependent manner.

In humans, poor sleep in the weeks following STEMI or NSTEMI associates with reduced cardiac recovery and function and increases MACE+ incidence over 2 years. Further, sleep restriction in humans causes inflammatory and chemotactic reprograming of ADRβ2-responsive monocytes.

In summary, MI elicits monocyte recruitment to the brain’s thalamus to increase sleep which promotes cardiac healing and recovery. This study was driven by a fantastic lab team including Pacific, Jan, and Teresa, and would not have been possible without wonderful collaborators!

Send anyone in the ninth. New York Yankees are ready.

Proud to be a New York Yankees fan PERIOD

New Mount Sinai research reveals that a #HeartAttack can trigger a desire to get more #sleep, allowing the #heart to heal and reduce inflammation—and this happens because the heart sends special signals to the #brain. Learn more: mshs.co/3AmcAor Mount Sinai Department of Medicine
