Several cardiometabolic comorbidities are common in patients with narcolepsy.  Often these disorders are overlooked, but they have important implications in the management of this condition. Some medications used to treat symptoms of narcolepsy may have potential negative effects on cardiovascular health, including in patients that are sensitive to sodium, such as those with hypertension or other cardiovascular risk factors. This activity overviews the links between cardiometabolic risk and narcolepsy, individualization of therapy for narcolepsy patients with cardiovascular risk, as well as narcolepsy treatment options and recent advances in pharmacotherapy for these patients. The information is presented in an interactive format, which contains a mix of high-impact visuals, infographics, expert faculty videos, as well as resources and suggested readings, all organized into different segments to facilitate learning.
