Our analyses indicate an association between sleep quantity and history of myocardial infarction in patients with psoriasis. For each hour increase in average nightly sleep, patients with psoriasis have a 33% decrease in the odds of having a history of myocardial infarction. The chief limitation of this study is its cross-sectional design limiting ascertainment of causality.
