Sleep apnea patients’ cardio system is under stress during the night; therefore, it is essential to understand and track their nocturnal BP.
This live webinar brings together three leading experts in nocturnal blood pressure management, and aims to best inform of its importance in cardiovascular risk assessment, educate on the impact of sleep disturbance, and disseminate best practice for blood pressure monitoring for hypertensive patients.
