Course Summary:

This course delves into the latest research and clinical insights on the cardiovascular implications of sleep apnea. It features a series of expert talks that cover a range of topics, from the pathophysiology of sleep apnea in specific conditions to the long-term cardiovascular outcomes and management strategies.

Learning objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify the prevalence and subtypes of sleep apnea in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and analyze the relationships between sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness, troponins, and major adverse cardiovascular events
• Examine the relationship between sleep apnea and heart failure
• Evaluate the long-term cardiovascular outcomes of sleep apnea from childhood through adulthood
• Recognize the potential and effectiveness of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment using mandibular advancement devices in optimizing blood pressure and improving sleep-related and general quality-of-life measures
• Assess the potential impact of Tirzepatide on cardiovascular outcomes and its implications for the management of sleep apnea, offering new perspectives on treatment options
