Nighttime Light May Make Your Heart Thicker and Stiffer
Exposure to light at night may be linked to potentially harmful changes in the heart’s structure and performance, according to a study involving more than 11,000 people. The findings were published in the European Heart Journal on September 9. The research was led by Professor Lu Qi of Tulane University, New Orleans, USA. He said: [...]
A new study has linked prolonged lighting at night to adverse changes in the structure and functioning of the heart. It was attended by more than 11 thousand people who wore light sensors on their wrists.
Sleeping with light, even weak, would be associated with a thicker and less effective heart to MRI. Over a decade, the risk of heart failure and stroke would also increase.
A recent study suggests that exposure to light during the night may be associated with harmful changes in the structure and functioning of the heart. The research, which involved more than 11,000 participants, was published in the European Heart Journal and led by Professor Lu Qi of Tulane University.

Those who are exposed to light regularly at night often show subtle changes in heart structure and heart function. A large observational study with data from the UK Biobank combines stronger nocturnal light exposure with thicker cardiac walls, less favourable muscle deformation and later higher risks for multiple cardiovascular diseases. However, cause and effect cannot be derived from the data. New Orleans (U.S.A.). Light is the [...] The artic…
