The result? People who have sleep apnea
often develop high blood pressure and
heart disease. For patients who already
have a heart condition, sleep apnea can
worsen their health.

Individuals with sleep apnea repeatedly
stop breathing during sleep and must
partially wake each time to gasp or snort
for air. This is caused by the main
breathing passage in the back of the
throat closing or becoming too narrow.

experts in diagnosis &
treatment of sleep disorders
Sleepcare Diagnostics is the largest sleep diagnostic facility
under one roof in the United States. We treat more patients
than any other sleep lab in the area.
the connection between
sleep disorders and
heart disease
Sleep-related breathing disorders can directly cause
certain heart conditions, or can worsen these
conditions if they previously existed.
•
High blood pressure: Sleep apnea causes the
heart rate and blood pressure to increase.
These nightly increases in blood pressure
eventually lead to permanent increases in
blood pressure, even during the day.
•
Coronary artery disease: People with sleep
apnea have higher rates of coronary artery
disease (CAD). This is because the apnea
increases the risk for high blood pressure, a
main cause of CAD, and because events that
occur during the apnea can put added stress
on the heart and worsen existing disease.
•
Heart failure: Many experts believe that
about 50 percent of heart failure patients
suffer from sleep apnea. Disorders of sleep
and breathing can both cause heart failure
and develop as a result of heart failure.
• Stroke: High blood pressure is the most
common cause of stroke, and sleep apnea
can lead to high blood pressure. Also, sleep
apnea may cause strokes directly since blood
flow to the brain is reduced and the level of
oxygen drops during apneas.
• Arrhythmias: Several studies have shown
that heart failure patients with sleep apnea
have a higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation
and ventricular arrhythmias (irregular
heartbeat). Patients who have ventricular
tachycardia (a rapid heart rate) or a
pacemaker are also more prone to have
sleep apnea.

meeting the unique needs
of heart patients
Disorders like sleep apnea are treatable. In fact,
treating sleep apnea may actually decrease a
person s chances of developing certain
cardiovascular diseases.
Sleepcare Diagnostics specializes in the care of
patients with heart conditions as well as severely
overweight individuals. We diagnose and treat
sleep disorders, and provide therapeutic devices.
•
Our facility has a bright, cheerful d cor and
offers an at-home feeling. Easily accessible
entrances, a living room with big-screen
television, and beds with comfortable Swedishfoam mattresses are just some of the amenities
we provide for maximum patient comfort.
•
Our head physician and medical director for
the center, Shahrokh Javaheri, M.D., is
internationally known for his research in sleep
disorders and in the correlation of sleep
disordered breathing to cardiovascular disease.
•
Our well-trained and compassionate employees
are experienced in the techniques required to
administer sleep studies to patients with heart
disease or heart failure. They are knowledgeable
about the links between sleep apnea and heart
conditions and take this into consideration as
they work with you to achieve success with your
prescribed therapy.
assessing and
treating sleep disorders
Sleepcare Diagnostics helps individuals with
sleep disorders achieve more restful sleep and
improved quality of life.
Assessment: Small sensors are attached to your
body to measure your sleep, breathing, heart
rate and oxygen level. While you sleep on a
comfortable bed, technicians in a nearby room
will monitor the breathing problems that occur
during sleep. It is a painless and easy evaluation
to have done.
Treatment: Our physician will use data from
your sleep study to diagnose your problem and
provide treatment recommendations.
Follow-up Program: As part of our unique
follow-up program, you will have 24-hour
availability to our sleep technologists. They will
contact you often during your first month of
using your therapeutic device and on a longterm basis — at no cost to you or your insurance
company — to make sure you are continuing to
enjoy the maximum benefit from your therapy.
