Objective To investigate the correlation between sleep duration and Gensini score for coronary artery lesions. Methods A total of 367 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology at Fengcheng Hospital of Fengxian District, Shanghai, from October 2023 to February 2025, and underwent coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled as study subjects. General data, sleep duration, clinical data, and CAG results were collected. Gensini scores were calculated based on CAG results using the Gensini scoring system. According to sleep duration, the study subjects were divided into sleep duration <6 h group (n=64), 6-8 h group (n=196), and >8 h group (n=107). The relationship between sleep duration and Gensini score was analyzed. Results No statistically significant differences were observed in sex, age, height, body weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, blood pressure, or blood lipids among the three groups. Compared with the sleep duration 6-8 h group, the Gensini scores were significantly higher in the sleep duration <6 h and >8 h groups (both P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the sleep duration 6-8 h group, both of the <6 h and >8 h groups had higher risks of elevated Gensini scores, with OR (95%CI) of 30.183 (10.066-90.505) and 3.784 (2.180-6.568), respectively (both P<0.001). Conclusion Both too short and too long sleep durations are associated with increased severity of coronary artery lesions, exhibiting a “U-shaped” risk relationship. It suggests that maintaining an appropriate sleep duration (6-8 h) is of great significance for the prevention and management of coronary heart disease.
