Poor sleep can influence how the body responds to metabolic therapies.

Dr. Amit Anand, Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Specialist at Harvard Medical School, discusses how inadequate sleep may blunt the metabolic benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with diabetes and cardiometabolic disease.

Dr. Amit Anand explains how stress anticipation, circadian rhythm, and early-morning surges in sympathetic activity can contribute to cardiovascular events at the start of the workweek.

Clinicians, have you seen this trend in your practice?

Dr. Amit Anand, Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine Specialist at Harvard Medical School and Co-Founder of Breathonance, explains why sleep quality is just as important as length of sleep for our overall health and well-being.

A simple technique, such as breathwork, can make a measurable difference.

🫁 When practiced regularly, focused breathing techniques such as Kapalbhati can:
✔️ Improve nasal airflow
✔️ Enhance sleep quality
✔️ Balance the autonomic nervous system
✔️ Support heart rhythm regulation

Protecting clinician rest is protecting clinician hearts. ❤️‍🩹 More systemic and institutional support is needed to make this a reality.

This week, we’re covering the importance of sleep for better health with Dr. Amit Anand, Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Specialist at Harvard Medical School and Co-Founder of Breathonance.

Over 50 million Americans live with undiagnosed sleep disorders, and getting less than 7 hours of sleep is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and premature mortality.

Although the importance of sleep seems like common knowledge, it’s still one of the most overlooked pillars of health and needs more attention!

During normal sleep, both airflow and heart rate remain steady, reflecting balanced autonomic control and a consistent oxygen supply.

But during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), airway collapse leads to:
👉 Interrupted nasal airflow: periods of apnea followed by gasping as breathing resumes
👉 Increased respiratory effort: chest and diaphragm working harder against obstruction
👉 Heart rhythm fluctuations: initial bradycardia during apnea, followed by a rebound tachycardia when airflow returns

These repetitive surges in heart rate and oxygen drops activate the sympathetic system, contributing to long-term hypertension, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular risk.

Melatonin & the Heart

Melatonin is widely used to improve sleep and regulate circadian rhythm, but it may also affect heart rate, blood pressure, and autonomic tone.

While often safe, case reports describe symptomatic bradycardia and palpitations in sensitive individuals.

Before recommending or using melatonin, clinicians should weigh potential autonomic and hemodynamic effects, especially in patients with bradyarrhythmias or unstable heart disease.

Dr. Lily Dastmalchi highlights why cardiovascular prevention for women requires a sex-specific approach, from addressing pregnancy-related risk enhancers to recognizing the cardiometabolic changes during menopause.

Sleep Apnea & Arrhythmias

Sleep apnea can trigger significant cardiovascular consequences. Repeated episodes of hypoxia, surges in sympathetic activity, and pressure changes within the thorax can provoke electrical instability, leading to arrhythmias such as:
• Atrial fibrillation
• Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
• Ventricular tachycardia
• Sinus tachycardia

Other reported associations include:
• Bradyarrhythmias (especially sinus pauses and AV block during apneic episodes)
• Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs)
• Non-sustained VT and nocturnal asystole in severe cases
Recognizing and treating sleep apnea can play a crucial role in rhythm control and overall cardiovascular health

Unlike traditional pacemakers, leadless devices are implanted directly into the heart via a catheter, avoiding surgical pockets and leads.

✅ Candidates include patients who need pacemaker but have:
High infection risk or prior device-related infections
Venous access issues
Preference for a less invasive procedure or no visible chest scar

Benefits include lower infection risk, fewer long-term complications, minimally invasive implantation, faster recovery, improved cosmetic outcomes, and many models are now MRI compatible, allowing for safer imaging when needed.
