Bad news for night owls: Sleeping less than seven hours a night could increase the risk of developing high blood pressure over time, according to a new study by an Internal Medicine resident physician at The Wright Center for 皇家华人 Medical Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study, \u201cSleep Duration and Hypertension Incidence: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,\u201d found that sleeping less than seven hours increased the risk of developing high blood pressure by 7%, and sleeping less than five hours increased the risk by 11%. Dr. Aayushi Sood, a third-year Internal Medicine resident physician in Scranton, Pennsylvania, worked primarily with Dr. Kaveh Hosseini, a cardiologist in Iran, and Dr. Rahul Gupta, an interventional cardiology fellow in Allentown, Pennsylvania, along with doctors in England and the United States, on the study, which took about five months to complete. The research team will present the findings at the American College of Cardiology\u2019s (ACC) 73rd Annual Scientific Session & Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 6-8.
