Summary
This observational study will check 60 healthcare workers for early signs of heart stiffness (diastolic dysfunction) and compare those who work night shifts to those who don't. Participants will fill out questionnaires and get an ultrasound of their heart. The goal is to see if shift work is linked to heart changes, which could lead to better prevention strategies.
