Sleep and Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Emerging research indicates a significant relationship between sleep patterns and cardiovascular health. Poor sleep quality and disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and insufficient sleep have been linked to increased cardiovascular risks. Understanding these connections is crucial for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies.

The goal of this research topic is to explore the intricate relationship between sleep and cardiovascular disease. By bringing together insights from varied studies, we aim to identify risk factors, underlying mechanisms, and potential interventions that can improve cardiovascular outcomes through better sleep management.

This topic welcomes original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that focus on:

• The impact of sleep quality and duration on cardiovascular health.

• Mechanisms linking sleep disorders with CVD, including biological and behavioral pathways.

• The role of circadian rhythms in cardiovascular function and disease.

• Interventions aimed at improving sleep to mitigate cardiovascular risk.

• Population studies addressing sleep disparities and cardiovascular risk.

Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that provide novel insights into the sleep-CVD relationship. Submissions may include experimental studies, clinical trials, or theoretical models. Interdisciplinary approaches that integrate cardiology, sleep medicine, and public health are particularly welcome. Manuscripts should adhere to journal guidelines and will undergo peer review to maintain scientific rigor and quality.
