Sleep, Sodium, and CVD - A Cardiology Perspective
Increased sodium intake is considered to be a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), including in the development of hypertension and risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Additionally, the impact of commonly-used medications with high sodium content contributes to this burden. As such, it is important to address the risk of increased sodium intake in patients with CVD or at CVD risk, including patients with insufficient or impaired sleep, as well as practical strategies to minimize the impact of elevated sodium. This activity brings together multi-disciplinary experts in order to discuss some of these connections and share key clinical pearls in this area. The information is presented in an easy and digestible format, accompanied by additional resources and suggested readings.
Target Audience
US-based healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, lipidologists, primary care clinicians (PCPs), sleep specialists, registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals involved in the management and treatment of cardiometabolic patients.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Summarize the data about the association of increased sodium intake and its impact on CVD risk and CVD outcomes.
- List current recommendations on daily sodium intake in adults with CVD or at-risk for CVD.
- Consider the full spectrum of CVD risk beyond hypertension when evaluating sodium intake, including in patients with sleep disorders, cardiovascular and cardiometabolic comorbidities, and those using medications high in sodium content.
- Develop practical strategies to minimize the impact of dietary and non-dietary sodium to reduce CVD risk.
