Respiratory disturbances during sleep are common in patients with heart failure (HF) and
can trigger the occurrence of sleep apnoea or deteriorate pre-existing breathing disorder …

Background: Sleep-related breath ing disorders are common in patients with chronic heart
failure (CHF) and contribute to exacerbation of CHF. The effects of biventricular stimulation …

Aims This study investigates the influence of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) on
sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with severe heart failure (HF). Methods and …

Sleep-related breathing disorders are commonly encountered in the middle-aged
population, negatively affecting quality of life. Central sleep apnea is associated with …

Methods and Results: A total of 100 consecutive patients with CHF eligible for CRT (NYHA
class>= III, LBBB, QRS width> 150 ms, EF< 35%, LVEDD> 60 mm) were screened for SDB …

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is generally recommended for the
treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea. CPAP lowers the cardiovascular morbidity and …

Heart failure (HF) is a growing health problem which paradoxically results from the
advances in the treatment of etiologically related diseases (especially coronary artery …

Objectives We evaluated the short-term effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on
sleep apnea in patients with systolic heart failure. Background Sleep-disordered breathing is …

Objectives: To assess the impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with or without
atrial overdrive pacing, on sleep‐related breathing disorder (SRBD). Introduction: CRT may …

Aims The combined therapeutic impact of atrial overdrive pacing (AOP) and cardiac
