The
Cardio-Sleep Connection
|
| In the
United States hypertension affects 50 million
Americans and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a primary identifiable
cause. There is an extremely high correlation of OSA
in this population exceeding 50%. Patients
with OSA are three times more likely to have heart failure.
Yet despite these risks, many barriers make it difficult for cardiologists
to integrate a sleep program into their practice and help their
patients live healthier, happier, lives. Healthy Heart Sleep Programs
was developed to offer both patients and providers a practical solution
to this problem. |
