Join Dr. Renata Riha and Dr. Annabel Nickol for a BMC-sponsored workshop:
"Endotypes and Phenotypes in OSA"
Time: NOV.05 12:00pm
Venue: the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole
Speakers
Renata L Riha, MD, PhD
Consultant in Sleep and Respiratory Medicine, Honorary Reader, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Dr. Annabel Nickol, MD, PHD

This symposium examines how understanding OSA endotypes and phenotypes can guide tailored therapy beyond CPAP. Drawing on current evidence, it explores the physiological traits contributing to OSA upper-airway anatomy, muscle responsiveness, arousal threshold, loop gain, and ventilatory control, and their therapeutic implications. Emerging phenotype-targeted interventions will be reviewed, including mandibular advancement, positional therapy, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and pharmacological agents. The session will also discuss biomarker development and the use of novel technologies to integrate endo-phenotyping into clinical care.
