October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death for women worldwide, yet they are often overlooked in research, diagnosis, and treatment efforts, creating significant knowledge gaps.
- - The review highlights key barriers to improving CVD outcomes in women, including inadequate screening methods, low participation in clinical trials, and the unique complexities of female physiology, especially during pregnancy and later in life.
- - To combat these issues, the text emphasizes the need for targeted strategies that address healthcare disparities, enhance early detection, and deepen understanding of biological differences affecting heart disease in women.
Objectives: Sleep disturbances, including disrupted sleep and short sleep duration, are highly prevalent and are prospectively associated with an increased risk for various chronic diseases, including cardiometabolic, neurodegenerative, and autoimmune diseases.
Material And Methods: This is a narrative review of the literature based on numerous articles published in peer-reviewed journals since the beginning of this century.
Results: The relationship between sleep disorders and metabolic dysregulation has been clearly established, mainly in the setting of modern epidemic of cardiometabolic disease, a cluster of conditions include obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidaemia, all of them considered as main risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) and its clinical expression such as ischemic ictus, myocardial infarction and type 2 diabetes.
