Sleep apnea puts an enormous strain on the heart and remodels the cardiac substrate through stretching, oxidative stress and frequent sympathetic surges2. With sleep apnea among cardiovascular disease risk factors, Sleep Apnea diagnosis and treatment for cardiology patients can improve cardiac outcomes. AHA recommends that screening for sleep apnea risk should be integrated into routine clinical care3
We will work with you to set up a complete patient care pathway from diagnosis through therapy with the WatchPAT® Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT).
