In this episode, host Dr. Seema Khosla explores a provocative question in sleep medicine: Could high pressure PAP therapy have unexpected inflammatory effects? Joined by Dr. Sanja Jelic from Columbia University and Dr. Daniel Gottlieb from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the discussion examines emerging research that challenges conventional wisdom about positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.
Discover groundbreaking findings on how PAP settings may influence inflammatory biomarkers like angiopoietin-2 (AP2) and VEGF-A, potentially explaining why cardiovascular outcomes in clinical trials haven't consistently shown improvement with PAP therapy. Learn about pressure optimization strategies, alternatives to high-pressure PAP therapy, and implications for treating
