Rest and Risk: Exploring the Cardiometabolic Impact of Sleep in Primary Care
Sleep disruptions play a significant role in cardiovascular health, yet these connections are often underappreciated in primary care. In this session, we’ll cover the basics of normal sleep and the pathophysiology behind sleep disruptions. You’ll learn about the mechanisms linking sleep apnea to cardiovascular disease and explore the epidemiological data that highlights this association. We’ll also review pivotal clinical trials examining the relationship between sleep and cardiovascular outcomes and discuss emerging trends in the management of sleep apnea with a focus on heart health. This session will help you stay at the forefront of managing the cardiovascular impacts of sleep disorders in your practice.
