Abstract

Purpose of Review

To evaluate if periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS) may be associated with increased cardiovascular or cerebrovascular morbidity

Recent Findings

PLMS are accompanied by rises in hear rate and blood pressure and by important transient EEG changes indicating sleep fragmentation; in addition, PLMS have been related to elevated levels of inflammatory markers that are associated with increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk and several reports have suggested that PLMS may play an important role in increasing cardiovascular risk, resulting in hypertension, cardiac ischemic disease, and cerebrovascular disease.

Summary

Although a body of evidence suggests that PLMS are involved in increasing cardiovascular risk, additional studies are needed to establish the contributory role of PLMS to cardiovascular homeostasis and morbidity in patients with and without RLS, and to evaluate the role of the specific PLMS treatment to reduce the risk.
