Shah et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=35). Sleep deprivation vs. Adequate sleep was evaluated on Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) (p=0.02). Prolonged, mild sleep deprivation significantly reduced brachial artery flow-mediated dilation compared to adequate sleep (7.35% vs. 8.65%, p=0.02) in healthy women.
