Sleep Promotion

Sleep is a fundamental component of health and plays an essential role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Understanding key concepts of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and sleep hygiene is vital. Appropriate screening and assessment, testing and diagnosis, and optimal treatment of any sleep disorder are needed for all patients with cardiovascular risk factors or CVD. Lifestyle behavior changes are recommended for all patients; this with an individualized sleep treatment plan provides the best outcomes. Follow-up should be tailored to routinely address sleep health to improve CVD.
