This study will focus on inpatients diagnosed with coronary conditions. Specific eligibility criteria will include:
* Unstable angina
* Acute myocardial infarction
* Congestive heart failure Subjects enrolled in the study will be scored for sleep apnea using a novel approach designed by the sponsor. That score will not be used in the course of treatment. A follow-up call will determine whether the subject was identified for sleep disordered breathing during the hospital stay. A comparison will be done on the number of those identified with and without the use of the sleep scoring device.
