Product Description

Are You Aware of the High Prevalence of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) in the Cardiovascular Disease Patient Population?

As Prevalent as Diabetes, with Vast Majority Undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), the most common form of SDB, affects an estimated 18 million people in the United States. Only 5% of the OSA patients have been diagnosed, leaving millions untreated and at significant risk of serious complications.

80% of uncontrolled high blood pressure patients suffer from SDB
60% of stroke patients suffer from SDB
50% of congestive heart failure patients suffer from SDB
45% of high blood pressure patients suffer from SDB

Severe Cardiovascular Co-Morbidities Left undetected and untreated, OSA significantly increases the risk of severe cardiovascular complications. In patients with coronary artery disease, sleep-disordered breathing is associated with a 60-70% increase in the risk of death and cardiovascular morbidity in long-term follow-up.
