#Sleep matters for heart health 😴❤️‍🩹 Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired; it is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Sleep health is multidimensional, including: 🕒 Sleep timing and duration 🌙 Sleep quality 📅 Sleep regularity 🔄 Sleep continuity Given the growing significance of sleep quality as both a primary and resultant comorbid risk factor for cardiovascular disease, sleep should be considered an independent lifestyle or psychosocial component of cardiac rehabilitation. Sleep can be assessed using: 📋 Self-reported questionnaires (e.g., the Sleep Condition Indicator to screen for insomnia) ⌚ Objective measures such as accelerometry Integrating sleep health into cardiac rehab programmes has the potential to improve outcomes across medical, psychosocial, and behavioural domains. 💬 How are you assessing sleep in your cardiac rehab centre? Let’s start the conversation! 📚 Sources and suggested reading: Atef et al., 2025. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology; St-Onge MP et al., 2025. Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
