Sleep disorders linked to heart and blood vessel diseases: cause or consequence?
AI simplified
Abstract
Sleep disorders are frequently associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
- Inflammation, sympathetic activation, and endothelial dysfunction are critical factors in both sleep disorders and CVDs.
- There may be a bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and CVDs, with high incidences observed in both conditions.
- Novel potential mechanisms for the comorbidity include gut microbiota, orexin, and extracellular vesicles.
- Understanding these mechanisms could inform future research and clinical strategies aimed at improving treatment outcomes for affected patients.
