Among patients w/ moderate-to-severe obstructive #sleepapnea & #obesity, metabolic surgery, compared w/ nonsurgical management, was associated w/ a significantly lower risk of incident #MACE & death. https://t.co/iuUWqGx7ZP

When the notes say the patient is on cpap. Nope; that's a home mechanical ventilator (E0466). #ifykyk #pccm #sleeppeeps #musculardystrophy #chronicrespfailure

@HumanaHelp I'm the physician not the patient. Spent already hours on the phone with to be told different this. I just want the public to see you'd rather see them die than her what they need and what is evidence based medicine.

[Amy H Attaway MD MS @AmyAttaway3]

This was a wonderful collaborative effort and I'm so grateful to all of my co-authors for contributing to this work!! @ReenaMehra0203 @JoeZein8 @MdOrsini @RScheraga and the support of my institution #clecliniclungs @RaedDweikMD !

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

Why do I have to justify with an ABG showing ⬆️CO2 to get NIV for a pt who's used NIV for YEARS just because of an insurance change. Obviously if they are using it nightly with proper settings, CO2 should be normal. My note should be enough.

Listen to Susheela Hadigal, MD explain why AASM Members should Act on Actigraphy.📣

What you think will be you as a physician--> being a medical detective and helping people 🧐

In reality, pro prior auth approval submitter bc you know they just want you to jump through hoops. 😭

So excited our paper is published introducing the ✨STARLIT✨ Registry of 42K sleep studies, 3K with spirometry, allowing us to account for pulmonary physiology in investigations of the relationship between sleep disordered breathing and AF development. https://t.co/oxqJkf7dxY

Sleep-related hypoxia more so than apnea-hypopnea index is associated with markers of right heart dysfunction and transplant-free survival in group 1 #PAH. https://t.co/rXirTdjlHe

@AmyAttaway3 Thank you!

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

@ReenaMehra0203 @nih_nhlbi @CCLRI @AASMorg @Sunjeet_Kaur Thank you so much Dr Mehra! Without your mentorship none of it would have been possible! Thank you for taking a chance on me and for your patience guiding this inexperienced researcher the entire way!

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

2/ a huge thank you to the entire team working on this without their hard work it wouldn't have been possible!

Check out more research in the importance of sleep related hypoxia and heart disease, afib 💓 by @ReenaMehra0203 @DrHeinZzzinger presented at #AHA23

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

Check out⬇️ our work showing #sleep related hypoxia🫁 more than OSA💤 is associated with RV dysfunction 💔and dec #transplant free survival in PAH

Important work by first author @Megan_MML13 and team identifying sleep related hypoxia associated with RV dysfunction and reduced 5-year survival in PAH in NHLBI PVDOMICS @nih_nhlbi @CCLRI @AASMorg @Sunjeet_Kaur https://t.co/kUkofZB6Oc

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

@ReenaMehra0203 @DrHeinZzzinger Congratulations Katie!! @DrHeinZzzinger great work and well deserved! 👏

[Reena Mehra MD MS @ReenaMehra0203]

Congratulations to @DrHeinZzzinger- many firsts- her first first author publication for the first time shows sleep related hypoxia associates with new AF over ~7 yr independent of spirometry-based decrements of lung function in STARLIT🌟 cohort of n~42k https://t.co/L3VXTFSO2l

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

@DGlaucomflecken I think you've found your next character inspiration! Let us know if you need any ideas 💡 😆

[American Academy of Sleep Medicine @AASMorg]

Learn about the state of knowledge of #sleep health and dysfunction in five established pulmonary hypertension groups during the virtual @nih_nhlbi workshop, “Sleep Health and Dysfunction Across the Spectrum of Pulmonary Vascular Disease,” on Aug. 30-31. https://t.co/WJQHqY6sk7

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

Thank you @ReenaMehra0203 and Dr Aboussouan for all your support! And to the legends today at that gave such thoughtful insight and will just propel the research further! @ATSSRN #ATS2023

[Reena Mehra MD MS @ReenaMehra0203]

Poster discussions at ATS are the best- ⁦work from ⁦@Megan_MML13⁩ on sex differences in OSA and COPD generating interest ⁦@atscommunity⁩ ⁦@ATSSRN⁩ ⁦@ClevelandClinic⁩ ⁦@CleClinicMD⁩ #ATS2023

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

@AmyAttaway3 @ReenaMehra0203 @atscommunity @ATSSRN It was great to meet you Amy! I could see collaborations in our future! 😉

[Megan Lowery @Megan_MML13]

Second that...mouthdrop moment speaking in that room! Looking forward to more @atssrn core talks to come!

[Kara Dupuy @KaraDupuy]

My face has never been this large before 🫣 Thanks to everyone who came to the talk and to the ATS core curriculum for having me. It was a great session and there were so many good questions at the end! #ATS2023 @atsearlycareer @MayoPCCM
