Abstract:
Recent years have seen a large amount of research indicating a high morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) combined with insomnia, which leads to increasing attentions in studying the association between insomnia and CVD, such as coronary heart diseases, hypertension, heart failure, psycho-cardiology diseases and so on. Sufficient evidence shows that patients suffering from CVD are much more likely to get involved in insomnia than healthy persons. Furthermore, causing great troubles to patients with CVD, insomnia seriously influences the treatment process and prognosis of CVD. However, there is a lack of pragmatic direction for the diagnosis and treatment of this comorbidity. As a result, a specialized consensus statement offering guidance in diagnosing and treating CVD combined with insomnia, is in exigent need. This consensus, which is made by experienced experts from various relevant professional fields including cardiology, psychiatry, neurology, psychology and so forth, has summarized the recommendations for the concepts, epidemiology, pathophysiology mechanisms, diagnosis, management and the special approaches of traditional Chinese medicine in this comorbid conditions. In conclusion, it's certain that this consensus will contribute to the practitioners in managing CVD accompanied with insomnia.
