Assessment of the Association Between Sleep Disorders Detected by a Simplified Questionnaire and Cardiovascular Diseases (CARDIOSOM)

Assessment of the Association Between Sleep Disorders Detected by a Simplified Questionnaire and Cardiovascular Diseases: a Prospective Study in Cardiology Consultations

The goal of this observational study is to validate a simplified questionnaire, adapted for routine clinical use, to quickly detect sleep disorders in patient during a cardiology consultation.

Two questionnaires were developed for this project. The first is patient-oriented: a prospective, multicentre, national observational registry based on a patient questionnaire designed to quickly detect sleep disorders during a cardiology consultation.

The second is aimed at treating cardiologists: this is a simple impact survey designed to assess changes in the practices of cardiologists who participated in CARDIOSOM.
