Phenotyping Obstructive Sleep Apnea:
Predicting Cardiovascular Risk and Treatment Benefits
This one-hour webinar will dive into how OSA is diagnosed using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), but its risk prediction is highly variable. Novel methodologies offer better assessment of breathing disturbances and cardiovascular risks. This educational session explores these advancements and their potential to improve treatment outcomes.
This webinar is essential for sleep medicine professionals aiming to enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to sleep apnea management. Don’t miss this opportunity to advance your expertise in precision care!
A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
