The relationship between sleep disorders and cardiovascular diseases

The study investigate the intricate relationship between sleep disorders and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) through a hands-on practical approach conducted at my provide clinic and Al Zahra teaching Hospital.Over a six-month period 150 patient diagnosed with various sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insomnia and restless leg syndrome (RLS) were assessed for their cardiovascular health using clinical evaluations, and patient-reported outcomes Data were collected at three time points—baseline mid-study (3 months) and post-study (6 months)—to evaluate changes in sleep quality cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory biomarkers, and clinical outcomes such as hypertension, arrhythmias, and hospitalization rates. Six tables summarize key findings including patient demographics, types of sleep disorders, prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, treatment adherence rates and improvements in sleep quality and cardiovascular health metrics. The results demonstrate a significant association between untreated sleep disorders and increased cardiovascular morbidity with notable improvements observed following targeted interventions such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for OSA and cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) Challenges such as underdiagnosis low adherence to treatment and logistical barriers highlight areas for improvement. This study underscores the importance of integrating sleep health into cardiovascular care and provides actionable recommendations for optimizing patient outcomes through early diagnosis and personalized interventions.
