Basic mechanisms of sleep apnoea and translation to clinical practice
Symposium Chairs: L. Grote (Göteborg, Sweden), M. Bonsignore (Palermo, Italy)
Aims: To discuss about the clinical interest that has gained the personalized treatment of SDB. While research continues to better define physiological traits, clinicians start to translate them into clinical practice. The session will focus on the basic and translational aspects regarding this new approach.
