Dr. Anne Marie Morse is the Director of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine at Geisinger, Janet Weis Children’s Hospital. She has significant clinical and research experience and interest in children, adolescents, and adults with sleep wake disorders, particularly central disorders of hypersomnolence. In addition, her research interests extend more broadly to include investigating the relationship between sleep and neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr Morse’s commitment to sleep health extends into the community. She has developed a school-based sleep education and surveillance program called Wake Up and Learn.  This program was developed to provide education about sleep health and perform school-based sleep screening to improve recognition of pediatric sleep disorders in middle and high school students. It has now expanded to include learners in college, medical school, and medical residency programs with a clinical and health plan delivery, called Sleep to Be Well. Dr. Morse envisions a world where sleep can be acknowledged as the vital sign of health, wellness, and performance that it is designed to be.

Statement of Need

Patients with narcolepsy are at a higher risk for CV and cardiometabolic dysfunction, hypertension (HTN) being a key player in development of these dysfunctions. In two recent studies, patients with narcolepsy were found to have a 1.32 times increased risk of HTN, 2.5 times increased risk of stroke, 1.6 times increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI), 1.6 times increased risk of cardiac arrest, 2.6 times increased risk of heart failure (HF), 2.2 times increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis, and 2.07 times increased risk of heart disease. In order to manage these dangerous comorbidities clinicians must utilize pharmacotherapies that offer reduced sodium intake while closely managing dosing and titration.

In this CMEO Snack, entitled Managing Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Narcolepsy, expert faculty will discuss strategies for initiating and switching treatment plans for patients with narcolepsy that consider comorbidities, dosing, and titration strategies.

Learning Objective

Initiate, or where appropriate, switch treatment plans for narcolepsy that consider cardiovascular comorbidities, dosing, and titration strategies.

Financial Support

This program is supported by an independent medical education grant from Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

Target Audience

Sleep specialists, primary care physicians, pulmonologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, physician associates (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurses, and pharmacists.
