A Cross-sectional Study on the Impact of Shift Work on Diastolic Dysfunction in Healthcare Workers
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction among healthcare workers? Which occupational, lifestyle, or clinical factors are associated with abnormal diastolic function in this population? Researchers will compare health-care workers who dont need night shift with those who have to.
