Pulmonology and Cardiology

ARES™ for Pulmonologists and Cardiologists

Our revolutionary ARES™ Home Test is a convenient alternative to traditional in-lab sleep testing. This system is accessible, easy to use, and accurate, making it ideal for cardiovascular and respiratory patients at risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Why Is Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea Important?

Sleep plays a crucial role in the healing process of the heart and blood vessels. This is most apparent when we consider the connection between sleep deficiencies and the increased risk of developing heart disease, respiratory, and dangerous metabolic disorders in the millions of patients with sleep apnea.  

Obstructive sleep apnea is present in: 



38% of patients with Hypertension 



48% of patients with Atrial Fibrillation



54% of patients with Obesity



55% of patients with Heart Failure



58% of patients with Diabetes



78% of patients with both Diabetes and Obesity

Understanding the connection between OSA and its comorbidities makes it clear – healthier sleep means healthier patients. 

Sleep Apnea, Heart Disease, and Respiratory Health

Heart Health

The connection between sleep apnea and cardiovascular health is undeniable. When a patient stops breathing in the middle of their sleep cycle, the body responds by releasing stress hormones. The more breathing interruptions, the more adrenaline is released into the system, keeping heart rates high and increasing blood pressure. Over a lifetime, this pattern can cause significant harm to the heart and the patient’s overall health.

Respiratory Health

The strains caused by sleep apnea don’t stop at the heart. OSA is fundamentally both a sleep and a breathing disorder. In fact, about 20% of sleep apnea sufferers will develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension.
