Rami Khayat

Rami Khayat, MD is a Professor in the Department of Medicine Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine. His research focuses on sleep-disordered breathing, especially its intersections with cardiovascular disease and heart failure. He has led multiple NIH-funded projects since 2008, including studies on pharmacological approaches to cardiovascular risk in OSA and hypoxia burden quantification in sleep studies.

• Key Projects:
• A novel tool to quantify hypoxia burden (2024-2025)
• Pharmacological Approach to Cardiovascular Risk in OSA (2016-2018)
• Microcirculation in OSA (2011-2014)

His work consistently addresses central and obstructive sleep apnea's clinical implications, with publications spanning meta-analyses, device innovations, and expert consensus reports. Collaborations span multiple countries and institutions.

He has published over 80 peer-reviewed articles and review papers, with 2025 seeing particular focus on cardiovascular outcomes, treatment updates, and device-based interventions for sleep apnea.
