Hearts Impacted by Fitful Sleep
Date: December 2nd, 2016
The researchers measured the loss of sleep both objectively and subjectively. They found out that there is a link between the thickening of the artery walls and the building up of plaque in the blood vessels.
A lead researcher and director of the Women’s Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh, Rebecca Thurston said that the research results show that short or poor sleep leads to an increase in heart attack and stroke. She added that the increased risk is between moderate and small, it is not large.
However, she said she was unable to explain this link and pointed out that this study was not proof of sleep causing a rise in heart risks.
