- Improve identification of cardiac rhythms that require attention in the sleep lab.
This presentation will review the literature describing treatment of cardiac arrythmias in the sleep lab and will incorporate a discussion about the impact of comorbid health conditions such as central sleep apnea with comorbid heart failure in the presence of co-morbid health conditions. With development of new and improved therapies for management of cardiac arrythmias increases the management options of cardiovascular risk factors for both primary and secondary prevention.

Access to the webinar advances the providers’ understanding of the clinical presentation matched with the diagnostic testing that is needed to appropriately refer the patient to a specialist for management of sleep dysfunction with co-morbid diseases to include cardiovascular disease. Ultimately, this clinical knowledge will improve practice outcomes for providers who collaborate with the sleep specialists to clinically manage sleep disorders.
