Sleep duration and atrial fibrillation risk in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine: the Suita Study and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Short and long sleep durations are common behaviors that could predict several cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between sleep duration and atrial fibrillation (AF) risk is not well-established. AF is preventable, and risk prevention approaches could reduce its occurrence. Investigating whether sleep duration could predict AF incidence for possible preventive interventions and determining the impact of various lifestyle and clinical characteristics on this association to personalize such interventions are essential. Herein, we investigated the association between sleep duration and AF risk using a prospective cohort study and a meta-analysis of epidemiological evidence.
