Why is insomnia linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-01

Many patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy experience chest discomfort and pain in the month before the onset of the disease, while the vast majority of patients experience mild or severe insomnia, especially in women.

Dr. Lars Eric Lobsander and his team of researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology followed nearly 53,000 men and women about their sleep habits for 11 years, and they found that nearly 2,400 people had their first heart attack.

In further analysis, it was found that people who did not sleep well almost every day had a 45% increased risk of heart disease, those who had trouble falling asleep had a 30% increased risk of heart disease, and those who woke up feeling like their body was not recovering. This data is authoritative and valid after the researchers took into account various other factors that contribute to insomnia. As can be seen from the above, the impact of insomnia on the heart should not be underestimated!

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often have fluctuations in blood pressure and circulatory system before the onset of the disease, because insomnia makes the human body systems not get enough rest, fatigue and harmful substances retained in the body cause damage to the human system, especially the cardiovascular system, and increase the risk of disease. Insomnia in the middle-aged and elderly population is more likely to have sudden hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, stroke and other serious illnesses in summer and autumn, which is very dangerous. In addition, readers should note that under the effect of insomnia, blood pressure continues to rise, and the organs that are prone to damage are the heart and brain.

When blood pressure continues to rise, the burden on the left ventricle increases, resulting in hypertrophy of the heart muscle, which in turn causes the heart chambers to enlarge and cause symptoms of heart failure such as palpitations and dyspnea.

Don't underestimate any kind of discomfort in the body, because if a minor illness is not treated, it will become a fatal danger affecting your health.
