Sleep and Automatic Dysfunction in Elderly Cardiovascular Patients

This study explores the relationship between sleep disorders and autonomic dysfunction in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. It examines common risk factors such as aging-related physiological changes, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors, and discusses how disturbances in sleep and autonomic regulation can worsen cardiovascular outcomes. The work also outlines potential clinical implications, including the importance of early screening, integrated management strategies, and targeted interventions to improve both cardiovascular health and quality of life in this vulnerable population.
