Abstract
In many observational studies, cardiovascular diseases as well as metabolic dysfunction have been identified as major manifestations of sleep disorders. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this association. In addition to the discoveries of interconnected mechanisms, a novel therapeutic approach needs to be explored. This review attempts to develop a better understanding of future research by examining the inter-relationship between sleep disorders and cardiovascular risk factors.
