Read our privacy policy People who struggle to sleep may have a greater chance of developing coronary artery disease and heart failure, according to new research. Those with a genetic predisposition to insomnia are exposed to a greater risk of strokes, heart failure and coronary artery disease, the study conducted by Swedish and British researchers found. But the new study, published in the academic journal Circulation, sought to find a link between lack of sleep and strokes, coronary artery disease or heart failure. They determined that genetic predisposition to insomnia “was associated with significantly higher odds of coronary artery disease, heart failure and ischemic stroke – but not atrial fibrillation.” Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition that causes an irregular heartbeat.
