Sleep disorders represent a significant portion of the chief complaints seen by pulmonologists and other healthcare professionals. Among these, sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome are prevalent disorders that carry serious health risks. Sleep apnea is linked to increased cardiovascular mortality, reduced quality of life, and a higher incidence of motor vehicle accidents. Moreover, sleep apnea frequently coexists with other chronic conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and tobacco use disorder. Patients presenting with sleep-related issues often exhibit non-specific complaints, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of various sleep disorders.
In Essentials of Sleep Medicine: An Approach for Clinical Pulmonology, you will find a concise, evidence-based review of sleep medicine tailored for pulmonologists. This book provides:
- A focused scientific basis for the effects of sleep on human physiology, particularly regarding cardiac and respiratory physiology.
- A detailed differential diagnosis for common sleep complaints.
