Our Sleep Solutions in their Practice
Elad Anter, MD
Boston, MA
"Sleep Apnea is an independent predictor of AF with a HR of 2.18. Diagnosis and Treatment of Sleep Apnea in our patients not only improves the outcome of AF ablation, but it has important implications for their overall wellbeing. It reduces the risk for stroke, reduces blood pressure, and improve their vitality. At our institution, diagnosis and treatment of Sleep Apnea is integrated into the AF practice, and WatchPAT is like a home Holter monitor."
David Vorchheimer, MD
New York, NY
"As cardiologists we don’t know how to manage Sleep Apnea, but if we can treat it, we are more effective. We wanted a process whereby a patient could be seamlessly identified at risk for Sleep Apnea, quickly tested and then treated… We are very fortunate to partner with the home sleep testing company Itamar Medical's WatchPAT home sleep apnea test as the linchpin for this process".
Prof. David Vorchheimer, Director of Clinical Cardiology at NYC Academic Medical Centre shares his experience with implementing Itamar Medical's Cardio Sleep solutions for home sleep apnea monitoring.
Larry Chinitz, MD
New York, NY
"It is unequivocally clear that we are not effectively treating our patients with AF unless we screen them for Sleep Apnea. Itamar has helped us with our smooth integration in our laboratory, the patients are sent home with a monitoring device, it takes zero effort from the clinician."
Dr. Larry Chinitz, MD is a leading US cardiologist in New York with 39 years of experience and specialties including Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Internal Medicine.

We will work with you to set up a complete patient care pathway from diagnosis through to therapy with the Watchpat Home Sleep Apnea Test
More than 50% of cardiovascular patients remain undiagnosed or treated for sleep apnea. A simple questionnaire can help you identify patients who may be at risk for sleep apnea, making them eligible for a diagnostic sleep test.
To be eligible for insurance coverage for sleep apnea therapy, your patients need a validated diagnosis. Diagnosis is obtained with an easy to use sleep study, performed at the patient’s home.
Adequately treated sleep apnea has been associated with improved cardiovascular outcomes and lower rates of hospital readmission.
The success of sleep apnea therapy depends on patients’ compliance. Compliance to therapy should be optimized to improve cardiovascular outcomes. Your patients will benefit from your staying informed and updated on their progress.
Our fully customizable services include:
- Coordination of care transitioning to the right diagnosis & therapy service providers
- Process & IT solutions and training programs for physicians and staff
- Clear visibility of patients’ status throughout the care cycle
