Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), driven by modern lifestyles, have increased, with atrial fibrillation (AF) being a major concern linked to heart failure and stroke. Insomnia affects a large population, especially younger individuals, males, and menopausal women, decreasing the quality of life and potentially causing autonomic disturbances and cardiac arrhythmias.

Purpose of Review

This review explores the link between insomnia and cardiac arrhythmias, particularly AF, and its impact on cardiovascular health and emphasizes the need to address insomnia in individuals with cardiac arrhythmias by tailored strategies for sleep management to improve their overall well-being.

Recent Findings

Recent findings emphasize maintaining a regular sleep schedule to lower AF and bradyarrhythmia risks. Better sleep scores correlate with reduced AF and bradyarrhythmia risks, while insomnia increases AF risk, particularly in those under 40 years of age. Studies underscore the potential impact of sleep management in reducing cardiovascular risks and highlight the importance of addressing sleep issues to improve cardiovascular health outcomes.

Summary

Our review presents compelling evidence connecting insomnia and AF. Improving sleep patterns and addressing sleep issues can reduce AF risk, benefiting cardiovascular health. A comprehensive approach for managing at-risk individuals with cardiac arrhythmias, considering co-existing conditions, can decrease long-term disease burden and expenses. Incorporating sleep assessments and interventions into cardiovascular risk management, especially for those with insomnia, is recommended. Further research is needed to fully comprehend the complex relationship between insomnia and cardiac arrhythmias.

Published 2019 Aug 12. https://doi.org/10.1177/1559827619867677. This study highlights the prevalence of sleep difficulties and the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) as a nonpharmacological treatment. CBT-i is shown to be safe and highly effective, but underutilized due to the shortage of trained practitioners and patients’ tendency to learn about sleep medication instead. The authors advocate for physicians to recommend it as a first-line treatment for chronic insomnia.

This prospective study highlights the importance of a healthy sleep pattern in reducing the risks of atrial fibrillation/flutter and bradyarrhythmia. The findings indicate that individuals with a healthier sleep score have a significantly lower risk of developing AF and bradyarrhythmia, independent of traditional risk factors, and the association is influenced by genetic susceptibility to AF. This study emphasizes the potential benefits of considering overall sleep behaviors in assessing cardiac arrhythmia risks.CrossRefPubMedPubMedCentral
