PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In this enduring activity, we will provide learners with an overview of idiopathic hypersomnia, focusing on early identification and diagnosis, and both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment options.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Assess the impact of idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) on patients and the challenges associated with delayed diagnosis
- Adopt effective strategies for distinguishing between IH and other sleep disorders during differential diagnosis
- Discuss the latest efficacy and safety data guiding the utilization of approved therapies for IH
- Interpret the heightened cardiovascular risk linked to IH and identify optimal approaches for managing cardiovascular health in patients with IH
