Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Cardiometabolic Syndrome: Clinical Perspectives and Interrelationships

There is evidence that Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA) symptoms are associated with reduced
glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia, type 2
diabetes, and the cardiometabolic syndrome,
and that treatment of OSA can have beneficial
impacts on insulin sensitivity and other aspects
of metabolism as well as on the patient's quality
of life. This symposium will teach you to
recognize the sometimes subtle, nonspecific
symptoms and clinical presentation of OSA,
and why you should refer both patients with
suspected OSA and patients with cardiometabolic
syndrome to a sleep specialist for evaluation
and intervention.
