Dr. Dan Sindelar Brings In-Home Sleep Apnea Diagnostics to St. Louis, Missouri
ST. LOUIS, MO (CRANBERRY) September 4, 2012 -- President of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, Dr. Dan Sindelar, announces a breakthrough in sleep apnea diagnostics for residents of the St. Louis area. Dr. Sindelar hopes to help close to 85% who suffer from undiagnosed sleep apnea. Dr. Sindelar now offers ARES™ home sleep testing as an alternative for those who have not been tested because of cost and privacy concerns.
More than 80 million Americans are burdened with a sleeping disorder. Sleep apnea affects one in four men and one in ten women. A significant correlation between lack of sleep and aggressive breast cancer was uncovered in a recent study by University Hospitals Case Medical Center's Seidman Cancer Center and Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University(see also http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/249563.php).
“Undiagnosed sleep apnea is a major contributing factor to a large number of ailments,” commented Dr. Sindelar. “Being tired throughout the day, while bothersome, is a minor concern. Sleep apnea is a contributing factor to rapid weight gain and impairs the recovery and rejuvenation of the brain, heart and body organs.”
Savings, comfort, privacy and convenience are the benefits of ARES™ in-home sleep apnea testing. Many insurance companies and Medicare cover ARES™ and in-home testing saves between $600-800 in copay-related patient expenses, compared to traditional lab studies. Additionally, unlike sleep lab studies, there are no invasive wires or mirrors, allowing more privacy and comfort for patients.
