Sleep Quality and Heart Health: The Hidden Connection
Did you know that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) doesn’t just disrupt sleep—it can significantly impact cardiovascular health? OSA, a condition characterized by irregular breathing and snoring during sleep, doesn’t only reduce the quality of rest but also increases the risk of developing serious heart conditions.
At Vivos, we believe in shedding light on the often-overlooked connections between sleep and heart health. Our Chairman and CEO, Kirk Huntsman, recently spoke with NTD to discuss how OSA affects cardiovascular health and what steps can be taken to mitigate its impact.
The Impact of Sleep Apnea on Heart Health
OSA causes frequent disruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to drops in oxygen levels. This intermittent oxygen deprivation puts a strain on the heart and can lead to an increased risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and even stroke.
The connection between sleep and heart health is crucial, and understanding how untreated sleep apnea contributes to cardiovascular problems is key to improving overall well-being. Addressing OSA isn’t just about improving sleep—it’s about protecting heart health and reducing long-term health risks.

Fortunately, there are solutions. At The Vivos Institute®, we specialize in innovative treatments for sleep apnea that target the root causes of the condition. By offering healthcare professionals new ways to treat OSA, we empower them to make a real difference in the lives of patients, improving both sleep quality and heart health.
