Heart Failure Seminar: Focus on Sleep
The HFSA Heart Failure: Focus on Sleep, Failure to Sleep, features a multidisciplinary panel of HF experts who are presenting a case-based program that is designed to provide the most current information on the diagnosis and utilization of emerging, novel, and current treatments for the management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with heart failure (HF). Among the topics that will be discussed in this program are the physiology and pathophysiology of SDB in HF, pathways for the screening and diagnosis of SBD, treatment options for CSA and OSA, and the impact of pharmacotherapies for insomnia and SBD for the HF population.
This program is part of the HFSA’s ongoing Focus On seminar series which brings together healthcare providers (HCPs), including researchers, cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, primary care physicians, cardiac surgeons, internists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and other health care providers who care for patients with heart failure. This case-based program is being developed by practicing clinicians and is designed to provide the most current information on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of HF patients with SDBs.
The Heart Failure Society of America acknowledges Zoll and Inspire for providing an independent educational grant to support Heart Failure Seminar: Focus on Sleep.
