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 intended for 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.
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be better able to:
- Explain sleep physiology and pathophysiology in heart failure
- Identify pathways for the screening and diagnosis of sleep disorders in the heart failure population
- Review the treatment options for obstructive and central sleep apnea
- Discuss the use of pharmacotherapies for insomnia and sleep disorders in the heart failure population
