Sleep disturbances are a common problem with chronic insomnia occurring in 10% of the general adult population and obstructive sleep apnea present in 4% and 2% of middle-aged men and women respectively. In addition, Americans are sleeping fewer hours per night than they did 20 years ago. There is now increasing evidence that reductions and increases in sleep duration, and various sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia may be causal factors in the development of cardiovascular disease. Some of the evidence linking disturbances of sleep with cardiovascular disease is described in this review.
睡眠障碍是一个常见问题,慢性失眠在10%的普通成年人群中出现,阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停在中年男性和女性中的发生率分别为4%和2%。此外,美国人每晚的睡眠时间比20年前减少了。现在越来越多的证据表明,睡眠时间的减少和增加,以及包括阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和失眠在内的各种睡眠障碍可能是心血管疾病发展的因果因素。本综述描述了一些将睡眠障碍与心血管疾病联系起来的证据。
