To evaluate if there is a relationship between the duration of sleep hours with blood pressure and fasting glycemia in medical students. Materials and methods: An analytical and cross-sectional correlational study with random sampling was carried out using a data collection form. The average of three blood pressure (BP) readings and fasting glycemia were recorded. One-dimensional and two-dimensional frequency distribution tables with their absolute and relative values, and the chi-square test (p<0.05) were used. Results: Of the 92 medical students included in the sample, 53.3% were male and the mean age was 23.7 ± 2.08 SD years. 69.6% of the participants affirmed having had sleep restriction, of which 1.6% presented normal-high systolic BP (X²=1.9 ; P=0.1655), 4,7% they had normal-high diastolic BP (X²=0.1 ; P=0.9609), 6,2% had arterial hypertension and 34.4% (X²=3.8; P=0.049) had pr...

Valsalva sinus aneurysm in an infrequent entity, the incidence is 0.09 to 0.15%, most of the patients are asymptomatic while the aneurysm is intact. A rapidly progressive heart failure follows the perforation of it.
