JF - Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine; Vol 3 (May 2019): Journal of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Short sleep duration is pervasive worldwide. It is recognized that short sleep duration, but also long sleep duration, may increase one’s risk of coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke (1). In a recent issue of the European Heart Journal , Wang and colleagues present evidence of increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events in adults reporting both short and long sleep duration (2). This study is noteworthy because it followed a large population from 21 countries around the world over a period of approximately 8 years. UR - https://jeccm.amegroups.org/article/view/5137
