Frequency of occurrence of colorectal bradyarrhythmia syndrome in elderly patients

Abstract

One of the key problems of modern medicine is the bradienteria syndrome, which is manifested by a slowdown in the circadian rhythm of the enteral evacuation function at a frequency of defecation less than 7 times a week. From the standpoint of chronobiology and chronomedicine, the regularity of the circadian rhythm of defecation is the same circadian rhythm of the body as the regularity of the sleep-wake cycle. However, the chronophysiological mechanism of the regularity of the intestinal rhythm and the frequency of its occurrence among people of different ages remains poorly understood. The chronophysiological mechanism of violation of the regularity of the circadian rhythm of defecation shown in our work indicates the need to observe not only the frequency, but also the morning acrophase of this rhythm for the prevention of many complications arising from bradienteria in patients with chronic constipation.
